Union power and the green automotive transition
This article contributes to the debate on union efforts to shape decarbonisation of their industries by examining collective bargaining that impacted the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) in the auto industry. We compare the 2023 bargaining round between the United Auto Workers and the Detroit Three car makers in the US with the 2024 negotiations between IG Metall and Volkswagen in Germany. Both unions launched strikes, but while the UAW secu…
Platform lobbying
This paper examines how platform companies seek to lobby and otherwise influence policymakers during heated regulatory episodes. While there has been some valuable recent work on different policy influence strategies deployed by platform firms, in particular the emerging use of “user-facing” tactics of consumer mobilisation, current research tends to neglect the role of specific institutional contexts and related power structures intermediating t…
A Just Transition for Auto Workers? Negotiating the Electric Vehicle Transition in Germany and North America
Reducing human-made greenhouse gas emissions is crucially important for life on earth, but it requires restructuring industries in ways that could disrupt millions of workers' lives globally. Whether this transition is "just" from the perspective of workers depends on the magnitude of job losses, the quality of new jobs, and the transitions workers experience from their current jobs to new ones. Using the example of the German automotive industry…
Emerging positions of German firms in the industrial internet of things
The industrial internet of things (IIoT) has created entirely new inter-firm competitive and collaborative dynamics that focus on the supply of digital infrastructures, services and platforms for industrial users. These dynamics typically involve machinery builders, information technology suppliers and traditional technology buyers from various asset-intensive sectors. Given the global character of IIoT technology, transnationally relevant inter-…
L’inéluctable évolution des modèles productifs chez les constructeurs automobiles chinois et indiens
Dans les économies émergentes, le changement social et la croissance rapide ont donné naissance à de nouveaux marchés automobiles et à une demande de voitures relativement peu chères et assez modernes. Les constructeurs locaux qui montent et les entreprises établies originaires des pays de la Triade sont en compétition pour la domination de ces vastes segments de marché. Notre article se penche sur les modèles productifs développés dans ce contex…
