Abstract: Abstract In an international perspective, Norwegian trade unions participate in extensive social dialogue based on a comprehensive framework of collective agreements and legal regulations at both central and local levels. This chapter uses power resource theory to discuss how trade union representatives and trade union members at the company level relate to digitalization and digital decisions. Digital decisions are understood as decisions concerning the procurement and use of digital tools in both production and management within companies. We use the framework of power resource theory to investigate how and whether digitalization affects social dialogue and the division of power in the workplace, using data from two surveys about digitalization and social dialogue at the company level, and interrogating changes in power resources. In the closing part, we discuss how digitalization may affect the Norwegian micro-model and the various challenges trade union representatives at the company level face in an increasingly digitalized labour market and workplaces.
