Abstract

The automotive industry is one of the industries reflecting most clearly the process of globalization and its effects on national labour relations and labour standards. In a comparison of four countries — Germany, Italy, Spain and Hungary — we try to analyse the changes of labour relations and standards in the industry. The analysis reveals that in the age of globalization trade unions as supporters of collective social standards are on the defensive. However, the different national paths of this process also show that states and trade unions are more than mere victims of the pressures of globalization.
