Abstract

Trade union crisis has a global dimension. However, the extent of the decline, weakening factors and available recovery strategies are depending on the labor relations system. This paper begins with a brief review of the principal theoretical contributions on union power sources. This level of analysis is considered the most operative for trade union revitalization because both weakening causes and strenghtening strategies are placed inside trade union organizations. The article then performs a report about the condition of each union power sources in the main trade union confederations. This report was made using several semi-structured interviews as a part of a more broad study. This paper will conclude with strategic proposals related to the suggested framework.
