| Abstract: | Within a multinational company, the European Works Council (EWC) at General Motors Europe is frequently cited as one of the few examples of an efficient body of employee representation at a European level. The EWC has been able to agree with management the terms of compulsory European minimum standards for defensive employment and competitiveness pacts, thereby restricting the effects of coercive comparisons btw. factories located in different countries. This article focuses on this experience, illuminating the tensions of 'micro-corporatism' caught btw. regime competition and international solidarity. |
