| Abstract: | There is a widespread hypothesis that union members in East Germany are strongly individualistic, passive and instrumental with regard to their collective interest representation. This article examines the extent to which East German union members can be thus characterized and reveals that people were difficult to classify as pure "individualists" or pure "collectivists". The literature offers various attempts to account for the proposed "individualisation" process in East Germany. |
