Abstract: | Based on in-depth case study research at a UK-based European Works Council, this article explores the dynamics of cross-national trust relations btw. workers' representatives. The results point to a deficiency of trust btw. the two largest national delegations of workers on the forum. It is argued that the weak relations of trust among the delegates originate from the competitive pressures of employment in a multinational firm,..., and the unequal power relations within the forum etc. |
