Workers as climate actors: What can unions do about climate change? Introduction
Climate change is an existential threat requiring mitigation and adaptation efforts likely to affect workers, their workplaces and their communities. The introduction to this thematic issue of Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research explores how workers and their unions become climate actors. In addition to presenting the seven studies featured in this issue, we identify cross-cutting themes emerging from them. These include: the importa…
How do workers and their unions become climate actors? A research framework
This article develops a research framework for understanding workers and their unions as strategic actors in the climate transition, emphasising the centrality of their agency. While climate change poses profound challenges such as job losses, work reorganisation, and health risks, workers are often described as passive recipients of state or employer-led decisions. We conceptualise union engagement along two dimensions: the strategies they pursu…
Striking for a Just Transition? North American Auto Unions and the Electric Vehicle Transition
Decarbonization heightens risks for workers, but union strategies shape how these risks are managed and whether new jobs offer quality employment. This paper compares U.S. and Canadian auto unions during the 2023 Detroit Three bargaining, focusing on strategic capacities and internal politics to explain their divergent responses to the EV transition. Both unions emphasized a just transition and secured significant gains through the negotiations. …
Algorithmic management and control at work in a manufacturing sector: Workplace regime, union power and shopfloor conflict over digitalisation
It is often stated that algorithmic management disrupts control regimes and enables employers to dictate the work effort level. This article argues that control at work must be conceived through inherent tensions in employment relations and contradictions that result from the implementation of technologies in workplaces. Building analytically on two theoretical approaches (workplace regimes and power resources), conflicts over algorithmic managem…
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…
Recentralizing Industrial Relations? Local Unions and the Politics of Insourcing in Three North American Automakers
Since the auto industry's 2008 crisis, the decades-long trend toward outsourcing by the Detroit Three automakers has stalled. During and after the crisis, original equipment manufacturers moved work inside their corporate boundaries, including the purchase of eight previously spun-off parts plants. Why has this happened? Drawing on 77 interviews in the United States and Canada and 27 insourcing cases, the authors explore how and why insourcing ha…
