“…Banyuls et al , ; Marginson et al , ). Accordingly, we find a number of EWC typologies (Bicknell, ; Lecher et al , ; Hauser‐Ditz et al , ), depicting the characteristics and outcome of EWCs as a whole .…”

“…Eventually, the representatives involved succeeded to keep the five plants alive that were members of the Delta group, even though each plant underwent restructuring and had to accept particular cuts (cf. Hauser‐Ditz et al , ). Somewhat similar to VW, the GME case shows that the EWC was an important ‘player’—however, social practice and representational outcome appear to be explained more accurately when we take into account the contributions of other actor groups, their interconnectedness and mutual efforts.…”

“…EWCs also may possess a collective identity or culture (Whittall et al, 2007;Hauser-Ditz et al, 2016). In other words, EWCs may provide meaning, as they contain a reservoir of interpretations and shared visions, frames of reference or worldviews.…”

“…Lecher et al , ). A collective actor perspective is explicitly taken by studies, which have conceptualised EWCs as ‘organisations’ (Pries ; Hauser‐Ditz et al , ). Regarding the EWC as a collective actor that is trying to participate in company decisions for the benefits of the workforce, studies sought to investigate the conditions that promote or hinder this endeavour (e.g.…”

Widening the lens: a structuration theory perspective on European works councils and transnational labour relations

This article outlines a concept for analysing practices of European works councils. Much previous research has focused its attention merely on a single institution or actor, for instance the European works council, transnational agreements or trade union federations. However, previous research in the field suggests that transnational labour relations often involve many actors on different levels inside and outside an MNC who interact, refer to different cultural patterns and draw power to act from various sources. To cover those processes, a structuration theory framework is developed that models different ‘action fields’, which actors refer to in their social practices of cross‐border employee representation. The framework is illustrated with case studies of Toyota and General Motors. The benefits and limitations of the new perspective are discussed with reference to previous accounts.

“…Although internal management conflicts are not foreign to IBS or social scientific approaches (Dörrenbächer and Gammelgaard, 2011;Rothman and Friedman, 2001), a mutual interest in company profits can be assumed as a common reference point. Second, while subsidiary representatives uphold a more or less constant cooperation with head office representatives, they depend in the first place on their local reference groups -local workers, union organisations and management (Hauser-Ditz et al, 2010). Especially through international competition between subsidiaries, identification with the local workforce is likely to increase further.…”

<p>Collective remembering in multinational corporations is a field at the intersection of social memory studies and organisational science that has so far been widely neglected within the academic community. Drawing on empirical findings, this article analyses the impact of the organisational memories of South African workers’ representatives in processes of cross-border coordination. What is found is that strong ties of international solidarity, dating from the 1970s and 1980s, serve as an interpretative background against which today’s situation (which is constituted through different frameworks such as the end of apartheid and economic globalisation) is evaluated critically.</p>
