Austerity, work and politics: assessing deregulation and political change in Portuguese industrial relations

Miguel Martínez Lucio

Chapter 3 in Work and Employment Relations in Southern Europe, 2023, pp 51-72 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter reviews and analyses the case of Portugal and the attempt to deregulate core aspects of its industrial relations in the post-2008 period. It also investigates the broader political and historical context to provide an understanding of the way that these developments are shaped, as well as some of the tensions that have emerged. It focuses on the way that alternatives to deregulation have emerged and the manner in which the changing nature of the left and social movements has helped shape such changes. The case of Portugal is important as an alternative reference point in the European context and manages to show the importance of political factors in shaping policy ventures.
