The paper provides a broad perspective of the European labour unions' transnational coordination activities from the completion of the Single Market Programme until the recent date. It describes how these activities developed as a result of the structural transformations occurred in the economic integration process of the European Union. The picture seems to suggest that, even though many procedural problems and national diversities are present, European labour unions attempt to adjust their coordination activities according to the rule that industrial relations follow the market structures. (original abstract)

W artykule przestawiono szeroki przekrój działań europejskich związków zawodowych od czasu powstania Programu Jednolitego Rynku do chwili obecnej. Pokazano, jak działania te rozwinęły się w wyniku przemian strukturalnych zachodzących w procesie integracji gospodarczej w Unii Europejskiej. Przedstawiony obraz sugeruje, że mimo występujących problemów proceduralnych i różnic na poziomie narodowym, europejskie związki zawodowe próbują dostosowywać swoją działalność koordynacyjną, zgodnie z zasadą, że stosunki przemysłowe kształtują się pod wpływem struktury rynkowej.
