The last two decades of the T&G, the essential left of centre union in Britain, were turbulent years. After a decade of neo-liberalism, and the defeat of miners, printers and dockers, the union responded by turning to organising and merger, out of which came Unite.

Gegenstand der Arbeit ist der Informationsfluss und die damit verbundene Frage nach dem Schutz von Geschäftsgeheimnissen bei Tarifverhandlungen. Exemplarisch werden anhand der Verhandlung eines Sanierungstarifvertrags potentielle Restriktionen der Informationsweitergabe an Gewerkschaft und Arbeitgeberverband untersucht. Dabei wird die Due Diligence bei Unternehmenskäufen als Referenzmaterie herangezogen. Es wird beleuchtet, ob die dort geltenden Weitergabebeschränkungen übertragbar sind. Die Arbeit widmet sich zudem der Frage, wie Arbeitgeberverband und Gewerkschaft mit den offengelegten Informationen umgehen müssen. Sind die Sozialpartner dazu verpflichtet, besondere organisatorische Sicherungsmaßnahmen zur Gewährleistung der Vertraulichkeit zu ergreifen?

The construction of Eurasia is a challenge for analysts due to its rapid progress from a Europe Asia Meeting (ASEM, 1996+) to a Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, 2015+), an applied cross-continental Land New Silk Road since 2013-2015. Yet, in the same period, the crisis around Ukraine (2014+), a gradual then hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan by ISAF forces (2011-2021), the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran (2015), now a full member of the SCO since 2021¿ diplomatic decisions and interstate practical schemes seem to exceed the capacity of observers to theorise quickly enough what is happening. Conceptually, Eurasia is experiencing a mix of centripetal evolutions at its peripheries ¿ Europe and East-Asia ¿ and a launch of centrifugal dynamics from its core ¿ Russia and Central Asia.The present book¿s ambitious title The Completion of Eurasia ?, which could be subtitled in the face of pressing challenges, explores a concentration of diverse ¿ yet equally complex ¿ issues grouped into four main clusters: organisational and diplomatic competition, logistical and infrastructural challenges, grasping the concept of Eurasia, making sense of historic turns. It provides a multi-dimensional and multi-sectoral understanding of what Eurasia ¿is¿ in its essence, despite historical turmoil and pressing insecurity issues.This book completes a series of publications by the Europe-Asia research network formed in the late 2000s. Originally based in Europe (Le Havre, France), this network is moving to Central Asia (Almaty, Kazakhstan).

Trade unions have repeatedly been challenged by neoliberal programmes implemented within Member States of theEuropean Union (EU) and at the European level. The twentyseven country chapters at the core of this book chart the features of the neoliberal challenge in the EU Member States and the measures implemented by unions in their attempts to adapt to changed circumstances since 2000. It is clear that union activity, either independently or in conjunction with allies, will be at the centre of revitalization campaigns if the pieces left from the neoliberal challenges are to be picked up and wielded into a coherent response.This book offers a comprehensive comparative overview of the development, structure, and policies of national trade union movements in the EU. It presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges facing these organizations and their strategic and policy responses from 2000 to 2020.
