New publication: Industrial relations and the just transition - what role for workers in Europe's green shift?

CELSI researchers Pavol Bors, Tibor T. Meszmann, Monika Martišková and Patrik Gažo are among the contributing authors of a newly published book - "Industrial Relations for a Just Transition: Labour Trajectories in the Energy Sector in Europe.

 

CELSI researchers Pavol Bors, Tibor T. Meszmann, Monika Martišková and Patrik Gažo are among the contributing authors of a newly published open-access book - "Industrial Relations for a Just Transition: Labour Trajectories in the Energy Sector in Europe", edited by Serena Rugiero (Fondazione Di Vittorio, Italy) and published by Edward Elgar Publishing.

The book brings together leading experts to examine how industrial relations practices can support a socially just energy transition across Europe.

Through empirical case studies from Germany, Hungary, Poland, France, Spain, Italy, Slovakia and Belgium, the authors identify key patterns, challenges and enabling factors for embedding social justice within Europe's green transition.

CELSI's contribution covers two chapters: Pavol Bors and Tibor T. Meszmann author the chapter on Hungary, documenting a trajectory described as "far from a just transition", while Monika Martišková and Patrik Gažo examine the Slovak energy sector transformation and its implications for workers and social dialogue.

🔓 The book is available open access at Elgaronline.com, thanks to funding support from the European Union at: https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/industrial-relations-for-a-just-transition-9781035361779.html
