The role of collective bargaining in addressing flexibility and security
研究了意大利和丹麦化工制药行业集体谈判如何应对灵活性与安全性问题，发现行业层面的制度决定了公司协议内容的同质性，而公司层面的异质性主要受工会代表和组织特征影响。
This article examines the role of collective bargaining in addressing flexibility and security in the chemical and pharmaceutical sector in Italy and Denmark. My multi-level and comparative focus on collective bargaining highlights that sector-level industrial relations institutions account for a considerable degree of within-country homogeneity in the content of company agreements over issues of flexibility and security. Moreover, it shows that the degree of company-level heterogeneity is conditioned primarily by firm-level contingencies: union representation and organizational characteristics. This means that at company level, both institutional and non-institutional structures are important explanatory variables.
