| Summary: | The development of industrial relations
in different countries, can be essential in their efforts to
balance competitiveness, with equitable wages, and improved
working conditions. Consequently, a well-functioning labor
market is essential for solid economic performance, as well
as future economic growth, and, for the well-being of
workers, and their families. And, the effects of
globalization on workers, on firms, and on macroeconomic
performance, relate critically to labor institutions such
as, trade unions, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
"Unions and Collective Bargaining" is a
comprehensive, reference book which evaluates the economic
effects of unions, and collective bargaining. This book
provides a detailed survey, and synthesis of the economic
literature on trade unions, and collective bargaining, and
their impact on micro- and macroeconomic outcomes. It shows
the effects of collective bargaining in different country
settings and time periods. |
