| Abstract: | This article examines printing trade unions in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Since 1990 they have been under major pressure from financial difficulties resulting from a dramatic fall in membership. To reduce costs and ensure institutional survival, and potentially revival, the leaderships of these three unions have implemented strategies to redefine union objectives, the means of their achievement and the procedures of union democracy. However, modernization is constrained by their unions' decision-making structures, cultures, resources and their own ideologies. |
