Abstract
AbstractChapter 2 compares institutions across the ten countries included in this study, particularly those affecting the telecom sector and incumbent telecom companies. Constraints on exit take the form of legal or negotiated job security protections and inclusive minimum standards via equal pay rules, sectoral bargaining, and transfer of undertakings protections. Institutional support for collective worker voice is based on differences in participation rights and structures, as well as mobilization capacity associated with union membership and rules or rights concerning industrial action. The dynamics of labor solidarity are influenced by structures that support cooperation among worker representatives, as well as the identity or ideology of the national labor movement and major union federations. The chapter concludes by outlining a model for comparing the cases, based on the intersection of exit, voice, and solidarity.
