Biography
Jeremy Waddington is Professor of Industrial Relations at the University of Manchester and the Project Coordinator for the European Trade Union Institute, Brussels. He has written extensively on trade union structure, organization and activity, and on issues of labour representation in Europe.
"Jeremy Waddington's book is undoubtedly one the of the few available reference works, presenting the results of a major research project looking into the practical operations or EWCs in an empirically exhaustive and analytically original way. This book has something very important to offer to both practitioners and the academic community. Sharp in focus and rich in content, it is a well-presented work, underpinned by sound empirical research. It's worth reading for all those engaged in teaching and research in the field of industrial and employment relations" -- ETUI. Guglielmo Meardi, University of Warwick, Uk
