The Enduring Alliance? Trade Unions and the Making of New Labour, 1994-1997

Article Abstract:

The reformation of the Labor Party in the United Kingdom does not sever connections with the nation's unions, but rather redefines the nature of their relationship. Union and party objectives do not coincide; however, they do intersect. Although the party has created distance between itself and unions through the adoption of organizational structure, an alliance of general expectations continues to exist.

Training and Labour Market Flexibility: Is There a Trade-off?(*)

Article Abstract:

Temporary employees are missing opportunities for advancement due to a lack of occupational training. Short-term workers are less likely to receive such training as they are not included in unions' collective agreements. This correlation between union coverage and occupational training carries implications for the economy, as skilled employees are more productive and earn better wages.

Annual Review Article: New Labour's 'Industrial Relations Settlement': The Third Way?

Article Abstract:

The Third Way, a socioeconomic political framework espoused by the UK's Labor Party, has not yet come into evidence in labor-management relations and policy. Although the method is based on many tenets of neoliberalism, it is still in the process of negotiating the distance between old and new labor political ideals.
