Niewyśniony sen o europejskich radach zakładowych. Jak związki przegrywają z korporacjami ponadnarodowymi

Artykuł zawiera próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy związki zawodowe potrafią wykorzystać instytucję europejskich rad zakładowych do wzmocnienia pozycji reprezentacji pracowniczej vis-à-vis korporacji ponadnarodowych. W ocenie autora problemy z budowaniem transgranicznej solidarności związków zawodowych i ich niezdolność do wypracowania wspólnej pozycji wobec  zjawiska ponadnarodowych  układów ramowych (TCA) sprawiają, że związkowe podejście do roli europejskich rad zakładowych staje się coraz bardziej ambiwalentne. W rezultacie głównymi beneficjentami istnienia rad mogą, paradoksalnie, stać się zarządy korporacji ponadnarodowych.
