Abstract
The principal aim of the present paper is to explore the trend of decreasing legitimization of European Union as an institutional and political settlement especially among working classes of Europe. A further concern is to highlight the impact of this trend on the linkages between trade unions and employees within the framework of the strategic alignment of many trade union leaderships to the Europeanization project. Although this framework is only implicitly discussed, we attempt to present some processes within European trade unionism which introduce a radical “de-Europeanizing” trend, this time from below.
