Abstract:
In many European countries, the print media sector has been at the forefront of the organised labour movement, creating trade unions and being involved in industrial relations practices. As with any industry, print media has undergone changes over time and its current transformation may also be altering its industrial relations practices. The introduction of increasingly advanced technologies, the relative restructuring and reorganisation of production processes, and the need to create conditions of economic stability are the key issues for companies in the print media sector. The reduction of the numbers of workers in this sector has run parallel to other major trends such as outsourcing, off-shoring and the growth of atypical work. This comparative study looks at recent trends in the print media sector in Europe in the last few years and shows the impact of these trends on industrial relations. It focuses on changes in employment levels and practices, the organisation and views of employers and trade union, and the level of social dialogue and industrial conflict. The study covers 18 EU Member States.
