title = {Aktive Lohnpolitik in Europa},
year = {2014},
note = {The European Commission and national governments reacted to the
economic and financial markets crises with a new, one-sided and crises
intensifying austerity policy. Wages and social benefits became a
central adjustment variable of the currently existing macroeconomic
imbalance. Until today the trade unions in many European countries see
themselves confronted with a downward-oriented interventionist wage
coordination. This supply-side wage coordination must be countered by
a demand-side coordination. Those responsible for this can only be the
trade unions, supported by the state: taking action against precarious
employment and strengthening collective bargaining autonomy and the
binding effects of collective agreements. The trade unions cannot,
however, solve the European crisis alone. Further development within
Europe towards a monetary, economic and social union is indispensable.},
