| Abstract: | The ways in which unions have hitherto responded to the emergence of uncertain employment among young people in Greece are critically analysed in this paper. The analysis suggests that traditional forms of regulation and union representation have little effect on protecting young workers from the risk of vulnerability at work. Furthermore, it makes the case for a radical strategic reorientation of the Greek trade unions, with more emphasis on organising and attracting young precarious workers through more suitable representation structures and engagement strategies at the workplace level. |
