INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS AFTER PINOCHET - INDIRA PA...

In recent decades many countries have implemented neoliberal reforms that have had adverse
consequences for unions. In Chile this process was particularly sweeping  having occurred under
the right-wing dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. Despite the transition to democracy in
1990  the labor relations system created by the Pinochet regime is still largely in place.
Although a number of works have assessed the conditions of unionism in post-dictatorship Chile
little attention has been paid to the firm level  which is where most of the collective
bargaining now takes place. This book takes a qualitative approach to examining the dynamics of
collective bargaining at the firm level in democratic Chile by investigating the causes of
variation in the bargaining outcomes of fifty-three unions in four firms in the banking 
manufacturing  retail and telecommunications sectors. It seeks to explain both variation in
individual union bargaining outcomes within firms and aggregate differences in outcomes between
firms. The book also provides a systematic explanation of the decline of collective bargaining
results among Chilean unions in general during the 1990s and early 2000s.
