| Abstract: | The 1990s witnessed remarkable renaissance of centralized collective bargaining in various European nations. Centralized bargaining arrangements have emerged or re-emerged in countries as diverse as Finland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Norway. According to the neo-corporatist approach to the "problem of compliance", worker control over union policy is incompatible with centralized wage regulation. This analysis of centralized collective bargaining agreements in Italy in the 1980s and 1990s provides critical re-examination of the traditional neo-corporatist approach. This paper argues that centralization can be entirely compatible with decision-making procedures in which rank-and-file workers have ultimate decision-making power. |
