Labor relations in Russia and Eastern Europe

Article Abstract:

Labor relations in Russia and Eastern Europe are in transition as the former communist countries are undergoing economic restructuring and privatization of state-owned enterprises. The process has progressed farthest in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Workers in Bulgaria and Romania, where much of the economy remains in the public sector, are experiencing low wages and high rates of inflation. In Russia, employers and unions have become independent of the government, but unions are often controlled by management and collective bargaining is not being carried out.

British labor relations and the law

Article Abstract:

The British labor relations system is in transition and is moving from a very much centralized and adversarial system to a more decentralized and less adversarial one. A decline in the power of British unions is the main reason for this transition, and the conservatism of the Thatcher and Major administrations have played a role in this decline. Curtailing union power has been one of the goals of both administrations, and they have even secured exemptions from European Union mandates enhancing organized labor power.

Chinese labor relations in transition: where will all the workers go?

Article Abstract:

China has a unique set of relations between labor, management, and the government, and current changes make it difficult to predict the future of labor relations. The government has established new laws, in part thanks to rising unemployment and unrest, which may help greatly if they can be enforced. Strong party control will ensure the continued dominance of the single legal union structure, with nearly all workers members of unions that report to the All-Chinese Federation of Trade Unions.
