Abstract

Im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts waren die Kollektivverhandlungsstrukturen in Großbritannien einem beträchtlichen Wandel unterworfen. Während die Bedeutung kollektiver Verhandlungen bis Ende der 70er Jahre zugenommen hat, ist der Deckungsgrad kollektiver Verhandlungen seit 1980 drastisch zurückgegangen. Dies ist verbunden mit einem Übergang von kollektiven zu individuellen Regelungsmechanismen für die Arbeitgeber- Arbeitnehmer-Beziehung. Dieser Artikel liefert zunächst einen Überblick über die Entwicklung der Kollektivverhandlungsstrukturen zwischen 1895 und 1998. Es folgt eine Diskussion von sieben Perioden der Kollektivverhandlungsgeschichte Großbritanniens zwischen 1780 und 2000. Zu guter letzt zeigt der Artikel, dass die Entstehung und Entwicklung kollektiver Verhandlungsstrukturen in Großbritannien eng mit der Entwicklung staatlicher Politik sowie der Entstehung und Entwicklung der Gewerkschaften und der Arbeitgeberverbände verbunden ist.
