Our country case studies show that the revision has had very limited impact on national labour law, and has not been use to reverse liberalisation - even in countries that strongly supported the revision. We explain why this is the case in this @jeppjournal.bsky.social article.
Daniel Seikel and I address this question by studying the first legislative initiative in the social shift: the PWD revision. Its adoption process was highly politicised, and its adoption proclaimed a major victory for social Europe. It is therefore an excellent test case.
Context: Scholars claim that Social Europe is undergoing a substantial revival that mark the ‘departure from the neoliberal mode of European economic integration’. But what is the actual impact of new EU policies on national law, and do they really counteract EU liberalisation?
New article showing the revision of the Posting of Workers Directive had limited effect no national labour law in supportive countries (open access).

This is such an important and topical article. Beyond the general theoretical argument, which is itself important, it gives a deep sense of the everyday tensions and control arrangement that underly the current overt conflict in Israel/Palestine. Well done @jonathanpreminger.bsky.social
Det ville også umiddelbart være min tolkning

This is such a great article! The combination of power resource theory and sociology of professions is highly innovative, and the substantive issue of how in-house economists affects trade union strategies is very important
I had a blast discussing the political economy of labour migration in Europe with this wonderful group of people today. It is a subject that deserves much more attention.

Interesting article by @aritassinari.bsky.social and colleagues show that labor unions can be incorporated into the dominant coalitions even in peripheral, export led growth model. Contradicts the the assumption that labor is irrelevant in contemporary economies.

Who are the free riders?
Today Christian Ibsen and I presented some preliminary research on free riders on the Danish labour market at FAOS' yearly meeting with the social partners. Well functioning social dialouge relies on a solid foundation of knowledge, and we are happy to contribute. @faos-dk.bsky.social
