Gewerkschaftsrechte In Den U.S.A, Thomas Kohler

Thomas C. Kohler

This lecture addressed the allowable limits of employer co-operation in union organization. Issues surrounding this theme have been of special concern to German unions and large German employers with “transplant” facilities in the U.S. German unions have put considerable pressure on German employers to co-operate with and to extend recognition to employee representatives in the American operations. At least some German employers also have a strong interest in adopting German-style representation structures in their workplaces in the U.S. The lecture addressed the topic in comparative perspective, and also spoke to current political and legal trends.

Despite our reputation for sparse public regulation of the employment relationship, however; the past decade has been a period of unprecedented judicial and legislative activity. The United States now has more formal employment regulation than ever before. The following piece places these developments in the context of a decline in the practice of private law-making, and identifies four movements that have emerged and which characterize …
