Multinational companies and collective bargaining

This report from Eurofound’s European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO) examines how the practices of multinational companies (MNCs), the strategic choices they make and the changes they press for, set against the responses of trade unions, are crucial for understanding the evolution of Europe’s varied systems of collective bargaining. The focus of the report is the operations of the larger MNCs, which tend to influence developments in industrial relations, more generally, and collective bargaining in particular.
