Union activity in subsidiaries of multinational corporations in Republic of Croatia
Multinational corporations as the primary holders of foreign direct investments have a significant impact on the national economy with a well-developed and prepared institutional infrastructure, but they have even stronger impact on the transition economies and developing countries. Expanding into new markets, multinational corporations create new jobs ; therefore unions have an important role in protecting employees' rights and their representation towards employers. The role of unions in the lives of all employees is even more noticeable because the situation on the labor market is extremely unfavourable and in many countries employees' rights are threatened. But researches also show that the proportion of union membership in the developed countries is decreasing, and also in developing countries and this trend has not bypassed Croatia. The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of unions in the subsidiaries of multinational corporations in Croatia. In more than half of the analyzed subsidiaries of multinational corporations we identified one hundred percent coverage of employees by collective agreements. We analyzed the most common reasons for joining the union and evaluated the relationship between unions and human resource management departments.
