The Collective Dimension(s) of Employment Relations. Organizational and Regulatory Challenges in a World of Work in Transformation
The collective dimension is inherent in the concept of the employment relationship, and private rule-making by collective actors has long played a key role in the regulation of the workplace.
On the other hand, in employment relations, the collective dimension is probably the most exposed to the pressure of societal, political and economic changes. In the last few decades, scholars and policy-makers have focused almost exclusively on forms of collective representation (in the form of trade unions, or seeking legitimisation from a direct link with the workforce) on the workers’ side, for the purpose of dealing with conflicting interests by means of a countervailing power.
Recently a different dimension has been attracting increasing attention, the ‘collective-relational’ dimension, consisting of the web of relations among workers belonging to the same workplace. This does not constitute a means to achieve countervailing power, but rather a phenomenon inherent in the employment relationship.
