The Struggle for a Social Europe Trade Unions

This book provides a detailed investigation and comparison of the trade unions of five EU member states, Austria, Britain, France, Germany and Sweden, and their positions on EMU. Several European level trade union organizations are also examined. The focus of this project, however, is not limited to EMU as a case study. Rather, EMU is regarded as a vehicle to assess trade unions' options and possibilities to respond to global structural change in general and to participate in the formation of the future economic-political system of the EU in particular.

Andreas Bieler is Senior Lecturer in the School of Politics at the University of Nottingham.
