ROITTER, Sonia; ERBES, Analía  e  DELFINI, Marcelo. Models of trade union participation in subsidiaries of Argentina multinational companies: An analysis of its determinants. SaberEs [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.1, pp.87-108. ISSN 1852-4418.

Multinational companies (MNCs) are central actors in the globalization process with its operations in different parts of the world and, specifically, through their impact on the institutions in the country of installation. The MNCs attempt to homogenize its operations at the international level in the field of labor relations and trade union participation, influencing the local logical and generating dynamics with configurations ranging from complete alignment with the MNCs, to the predominance of local institutions in the definition of the system of labor relations in the workspace. In this framework, we propose two central objectives: (i) identify different models of union participation among MNCs subsidiaries based in Argentina, and (ii) to establish the importance of factors such as country of origin, sector of activity, size, year of entry in to the country, form of management of the labor force and level of autonomy of the Human Resources area in front of the headquarters; as determinants of the differential models mentioned above. For that, two analytical strategies were used, a cluster analysis that allowed to identify the different models of union participation and an ordered logistic regression analysis to observe the relevance of the conditioning factors to the identified models.
