    Paolucci, Valentina and Roche, William K. (2024) The unlikely success of coordinated bargaining in a liberal market economy: The case of Ireland. Industrial Relations Journal, 55 (2). pp. 141-161. ISSN 0019-8692

    Abstract

    This paper challenges the prevailing view of the negative impact of collective bargaining decentralisation on trade unions in liberal market economies. It uses quantitative and in‐depth company cases from four major sectors in Ireland, to explain how unions have effectively established bargaining coordination following the global financial crisis.
