Institutional resources as a source of trade union power in Southern Europe
研究了希腊、葡萄牙和西班牙三国工会的制度资源,指出西班牙工业关系中的制度资源具有独特性,并认为制度安全是工会发展其他权力来源的基础。
Institutional resources are one of the sources of power available to trade unions, but recent literature has tended to pay less attention to these than to associational and organizational resources. We examine institutional resources in three Southern European countries, Greece, Portugal and Spain, which share many common characteristics. However, the character of institutional resources in Spanish industrial relations is distinctive. We examine the plasticity of industrial relations institutions in Spain in terms of labour market outcomes but argue that institutional security is an essential platform for unions seeking to develop other sources of power.
