"Les interactions avec ce que nous nommons l'environnement sont intrinsèques aux mondes du travail. Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, en France et dans tous les pays industriels, le mouvement syndical s'est préoccupé de la santé des salariés, du repos sur les lieux de travail et de la nécessité d'y aménager des lieux de vie. Ces considérations ont continué à coexister avec une logique productiviste. Depuis le milieu des années 1980, la question de l'emploi est devenue majeure, et, dans les territoires, les syndicalistes sont confrontés à de nouveaux acteurs et à de nouvelles régulations. Dans ce contexte, une transition écologique qui partirait du travail en tant que processus de transformation dans et de la nature peut-elle advenir sans que la recherche historique et sociale et, avant tout, les organisations syndicales ne soient mobilisées et ne situent les enjeux pertinents ?"

"Should companies primarily serve the interests of shareholders, or are they responsible to a broader set of stakeholders, including their own workers? The financial crisis has exposed the deficits of the current regulatory framework for companies, as it prioritizes short-term shareholder value at the expense of the long-term interests of stakeholders.
In this book, members of the GOODCORP network of researchers and trade unionists present their proposals for European company law which would encourage companies to follow sustainable, stakeholder-oriented strategies. Key proposals include: revising our understanding of the firm and its key stakeholders; strengthening stakeholder ‘voice' in companies; increasing the transparency of companies through binding requirements for social and environmental reporting; and negotiating employee-friendly agreements with investors through collective bargaining.
This book follows up on The Sustainable Company: a new approach to corporate governance (published by the ETUI in 2011 and edited by Vitols and Kluge), which outlined GOODCORP's vision of an alternative to the shareholder value orientation of the current system of corporate governance. "

"The continuing advance of globalization, together with deepening European integration, has increased the significance of the transnational level of trade union organization and action. This study offers a comprehensive overview of the development, structure, and policies of global and European trade union federations to serve as a reference work on all the key trade union movements operating globally and in Europe. It presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges facing these organizations and their strategic and policy responses. As a handbook, this volume provides extensive and systematically presented data on transnational sectoral trade union federations. Applying an analogous structure in the presentation of both global and European levels, the study features extensive organizational profiles, portraits, and overviews. This empirical material serves to reveal recent innovations in cross-border policy instruments and strategic approaches since the 1990s. The changing profiles of international trade unions - as measured against a set of functional criteria drawn from political science - and key developments in transnational trade union activity since the start of the new century are also investigated."
