Differing industrial relations: The public and the private sector in Germany
本文论证德国公共部门的劳资关系并非私营部门的简单复制，其结构和结果需从公共部门自身特点解释，对研究工会策略和劳资冲突的学者有参考价值。
Abstract This article argues that industrial relations (IR) in the German public sector are not just a replica of private sector IR. It suggests that neither the structures, nor the outcomes can be sufficiently explained by derivation from private sector IR processes. Primarily, the specifics and developments of the public sector explain public sector IR. It is of fundamental importance whether trade unions operate in a profit‐driven market environment or a publicly financed environment that is under public control. Differences between the public and the private sector result not least in the distinct relevance and meanings of trade union power resources. This influences the ways in which industrial action in the private and the public sector works and is relevant for trade union strategies.
