Chapter Chapter 1 in The Collective Dimensions of Employment Relations, 2021, pp 1-11 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This book is the third editorial initiative of an ongoing research project managed by the Marco Biagi Foundation (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy), seeking to cast light on the new challenges and trends in the world of work accelerated by the advent of digital technologies. This volume is focused on the implications of the societal and technological changes for the “collective dimensions” of employment, a formula that refers to the collective identity of workers, its institutional representation and its regulatory background. By adopting the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, which represents an original feature of this book, the volume aims at putting together under the same conceptual framework the old and “new” collective dimensions of employment, and to offer to the readers a renewed theoretical perspective on the role that the dialogue between workers and companies could play in an increasingly complex world of work, where the massive change of well-established interpretative categories is coupled by a substantial continuity of the interests and aspirations expressed by the actors of the employment relationship.
