EU Enlargement : Construction Labour Relations as a PilotLinda Clarke, Jan Cremers, Jörn JanssenThe authors examine how labour relations have crumbled insidecompanies and sections of the industry following the demise of theplanned economy in Central and Eastern Europe. Their conclusion isthat a decent safety net of social security and protection is missingfrom these countries. The necessary basis for social dialogue andagreements between social partners about labour rights and collectiveworking conditions is underdeveloped. The recommendations aredirected towards all the actors involved: the social partners in East andWest and the EU institutions.ISBN 90 5901 234 8Nr. 2. Women in ConstructionLinda Clarke, Elisabeth Michielsens, Elsebet Frydendal Pedersen,Barbara Susman & Christine WallWomen's presence in the construction industry has been sparselydocumented and this is especially true of women in manual trades,working as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, plasterers,scaffolders and bricklayers. This book sets out to rectify this omissionand reveals how women have been working in the industry, now andin the past, from the Indian subcontinent and Africa to the US andEurope. It brings together original research by an international groupof writers and academics, and personal accounts, as well ascontemporary and historical photographs of women working inconstruction.ISBN 90 5901 303 4CLR News No 2/200669
