dc.description.abstractTrade unions in the advanced countries face a difficult future Their core membership bases in manufacturing industry and public services have become declining sectors of employment. Keynesian demand management on which they depended for tight labour markets, has collapsed. Most industrial relations activity has shifted to the enterprise level, which they often find difficult to penetrate. Precarious employment makes union membership difficult, is growing. On the other hand certain advantages offset these weaknesses. For a number of different recent economic and political elites often need die support of trade unions for national social pacts. Also, employment conditions continue to create new social problems for working people, which only unions crm express. Unions in different countries encounter these combinations of favourable and unfavorable prospects in very different ways, which is likely to produce increasing diversity among the emerging national patterns.
