The author reinvestigates the relationship between the organizational power of trade unions and strikes based on data from the European Company Survey 2009 (ECS-2009) and the Institutional Characteristics of Trade Unions, Wage Setting, State Intervention and Social Pacts (ICTWSS) database, which include more than 5,000 firms across all 27 European Union (EU) member states. He shows that the incidence of strikes is higher in companies for which workplace union membership is high, the number of workplace unions is high, and unions dominate establishment-level works councils. These factors interact to affect strike incidence. In addition, the company-level effects of union organization on strike incidence vary across countries. These country differences can partially be explained by differences in national trade union systems, such as decentralization and membership density.

“…5 Moreover, our observations are not a sample of a given population, but the population itself. Following Brandl and Traxler (2010), we took the logarithm of the national strike rate as our dependent variable (instead of the national strike rate as such) to account for the strong skewness of the distribution of national strike rate. We also introduced a lag of our dependent variable because 'a high record of past conflicts fosters future conflicts' (Brandl and Traxler 2010: 528).…”

“…For this purpose, we built a panel, including data on strike rates, for 34 countries over a period stretching from 1986 to 2007. The panel also included most of the aggregate-level information that has been found relevant for explaining cross-national differences in labour conflict (Humphries 1990;Scheuer 2006;Brandl and Traxler 2010). The resulting panel was unbalanced: information was not systematically available for all the countries and years considered.…”

“…The institutionalized tripartite formation of wage restraint policies, i.e. the chain of instrumental pacts (Brandl and Traxler 2010), was assured by the relatively developed, highly centralized, inclusive collective bargaining system. The employment system in Slovenia is less formalized.…”

This study critically evaluates industrial relations (IR) in South-Eastern Europe and points towards future practical and research-oriented opportunities in the region. A survey of organizational policies and practices has been used to explore the state of IR in both private and public organizations in this region. Specifically, the data, collected in 2009-2010 (including the latest changes due to the economic crisis), cover 840 different organizations located in Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Cyprus. We discuss the development of 'regional-specific' IR policies, the 'importing' of varieties of capitalism models, the diffusion of the European Union social model and the role of foreign MNCs in changing IR in the region.
