Abstract

Transnational company agreements (TCAs) have emerged as an important development in the increasingly globalized economy. It is a means by which partners may respond jointly to key social and economic changes in the global market facing their firms. Due to the absence of any systematic transnational legal regulation, transnational negotiations are left to the spontaneous rules developed by actors involved in such discussions. This complex reality requires a careful analysis of the challenges and drawbacks facing trade unions and management. In order to address some of these issues, the project “European Action on TCAs” (EURACTA 2) has been promoted and coordinated by the Italian institute the Associazione Bruno Trentin (ABT) involving a high profile network of economic and social research institutes, trade unions and universities from seven different European countries.
