The aim is to describe and explain the similarities and differences between European trade unions concerning their views on transnational union interests and cooperation in the wake of the Great Recession. We do this by analyzing 221 responses from a European-wide web/postal survey distributed in 2015–2016 to union officials representing staff in employment sectors such as transport, metal and mining, construction, health care, and banking and finance. We find only limited sectoral differences, despite the varied impact of the Great Recession. The main findings are that unions in crisis-ridden southern European countries express a stronger orientation toward transnational union interests and cooperation. Unions in the northern and western European center express a weaker transnational orientation, in line with a renationalization strategy typically expressed in the form of national competitive corporative arrangements. This shows the importance of different institutional resources for unions across the various European industrial relations regimes.

大萧条后：工会对跨国利益与合作的看法

目的是描述和解释大萧条后欧洲工会在跨国工会利益与合作方面的异同。为此，我们分析了2015年至2016年间在欧洲范围内通过网络/邮政调查向代表运输，金属和采矿，建筑，保健，银行和金融等就业部门员工的工会官员的221项答复。尽管大萧条的影响各不相同，但我们发现部门间的差异有限。主要发现是，在饱受危机困扰的南欧国家，工会对跨国工会的利益和合作表现出更强的取向。北欧和西欧中心的工会表示跨国取向较弱，符合通常以国家竞争性公司安排形式表达的再国有化战略。这表明了不同机构资源对于整个欧洲各种劳资关系制度中工会的重要性。
