| Abstract: | In most Member States of the European Union (EU), trade (here as: tr.) unionists are reforming tr. union structures through engaging in the merger process (as: m-proc). This study charts the scale of the m-proc. since 2000, identifying the key features of the unions resulting from it. The outcome of the m-proc. is assessed by reference to aspects of tr. union purpose. While much of the m-proc. is shown to be defensive, particular mergers are highlighted as comprising features. |
