This paper provides a comparative overview and analysis of the current situation and future prospects of labor unions in the United States (U.S.) and among the member states of the European Union (EU).The European analysis will discuss the position of organized labor within the EU in general terms, drawing on representative examples from different member states and including discussion both of countries where unions have traditionally been strong (e.g., Sweden) and countries where they have traditionally been weak (France). The impact of European integration on the status of unions in the EU will also be discussed. The bulk of the paper will compare and contrast the philosophical/political underpinnings, current status, and basic structure of labor unions in the U.S. and the EU. The concluding section of the paper will compare and contrast the central challenges facing labor unions in the U.S. and EU and the major responses that unions in the EU and U.S. have made to these challenges.
