This has been enhanced by the crisis: individualisation of labour relations and destructive collective hiring; weakening of the power of unions in social dialogue; reduction in the rights and duties regulated by collective bargaining, which is attested by the abrupt drop in the issuing of ‘extension decrees’ from 101 in 2009 to 9 in 2013.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fcolumn.global-labour-university.org\u002F2014\u002F12\u002Fausterity-policies-and-trade-unionism.html#more\">http:\u002F\u002Fcolumn.global-labour-university.org\u002F2014\u002F12\u002Fausterity-policies ... \u003C\u002Fa>  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
