Abstract
Developments during the pandemic do not bode well for a central role of labour unions in post-coronavirus capitalism. ‘Covid corporatism’ as a form of industrial relations seems to be a temporal fad, if established at all. Labour unions did not play a major role in the design of economic stabilization policies, even where the latter were favorable to workers. The expansion of the ‘gig economy’ and of remote working increases the challenge of collective action for unions even further. This tends to strengthen a long-term process where the role of unions in industrial relations and in vocational education and training systems is increasingly being eroded. This erosion particularly affects sector-specific vocational education and training systems typical for coordinated market economies.
