The integration of Eastern European trade unions into the international trade unionism: The case of transport

Since the end of the communist era, the face of Eastern European trade unionism has been changing, while preserving some legacies of the previous period. The postcommunist period seems to be over and these unions could dedicate a part of their ressources to their integration into European and international arenas. However, this integration does not depend on their objectives only but also on those of the European and international organisations which they join. Consequently, they have to reconcile these different objectives with their ressources and legacies.
