Reviews

'Finally a book that looks at this largely overlooked topic. It's an essential read for all business practitioners to understand that we can do better than CSR-type paternalism. And trade unionists will enjoy crucial insights into how the rise of CSR can help improve their operations in the second decade of the new millennium.' - Dirk Matten, Professor, York University, Canada 'Preuss, Gold and Rees have assembled a fine collection of studies on a timely yet understudied topic: the link between trade unions and corporate social responsibility (CSR). By comparing insights from a wide range of European countries, this volume provides a systematic overview of how different trade unions relate to CSR.' - Frank G.A. de Bakker, Professor, VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands
