Abstract

This paper analyzes the new experiences of industrial relations and its implications
on the wages, the work time, the work qualification and the labor market segmentation
in industrialized countries. The paper is organized in three basic items. In the first,
we present the state of art concerning the theoretical discussion on the new experiences of
industrial relations. The main objective is to present the proposals on the cooperative relationship.
In the second, we analyze the evolution of industrial relations and labor market
regulation in Sweden, Italy and France in the 80’s. Finally, we discuss the influence of the
dynamics of new industrial relations on the work conditions and labor market.
