Globalization and Transnational Collective Labour Relations [PDF ebook] 
International and European Framework Agreements at Company Level

The severe social pressures brought about by the process of globalization have inevitably led to new modes of governance at company level. More than 250 transnational company agreements (TCAs) have been signed to date, involving more than 160 multinational enterprises (MNEs) and 10 million workers. Yet these initiatives are still very much works in progress, and consequently a full-scale assessment of what has been accomplished so far, what has been learned, and what likely future trends are emerging is much to be desired. This book responds to this challenge.
