Abstract
A whole array of management‐led initiatives over the past ten years has resulted in a significant shift in the basis of the employment relationship. In summary, this may be described as a move from “collectivism” to “individualism”. Highlights and describes the main elements of this and assesses the implications for the future of trade unions and collective bargaining.Keywords
