C/B/253. Trans-national corporations and the force they constitute for reforming national employment relations systems

This paper examines the nature of trans-national corporations and the force they constitute for reforming national employment relations systems within host countries. Firstly the key characteristics of the TNC and employment relation were outlined, then two host countries were taken for references: one from developed countries - the UK and one from the least developed countries - Russia in order to analyse whether only TNC's presence affect the employment relations or other external factors, such as economic, technological, political and sociological issues have importance. Finally the paper concludes by comparing the TNC's impact on the national employment relations systems within the UK and Russia.
