    Die Digitalisierung erzeugt neue Herausforderungen und Chancen für die Arbeitswelt und die Arbeitspolitik. Die Beiträge dieses Bandesdiskutieren zentrale Entwicklungen und arbeitspolitische Strategien des Umgangs mit der Digitalisierung von Arbeit: die Verschiebung räumlicher und zeitlicher Grenzen der Organisation von Arbeit, neue Initiativen von Interessenvertretung zur Regulierung von Arbeit sowie zur Organisierung von Beschäftigten und ihrer transnationalen Mobilisierung und schließlich die Möglichkeiten der Arbeitsgestaltung in digitalen Arbeitswelten. Dabei wird betont, dass die Herausforderungen und Chancen der Regulierung und Gestaltung von Arbeit in der Digitalisierung mit anderen Entwicklungstrends von Arbeit verschränkt sind. Mit Beiträgen von Alexander Bendel, Anja Gerlmaier, Thomas Haipeter, Fabian Hoose, Jennifer Kaczynska, Angelika Kümmerling, Erich Latniak, Sophie Rosenbohm und Christine Üyük. Abstract Digitalisation is creating new challenges and opportunities for the world of work and labour policy. The contributions in this volume discuss key developments in this field and labour policy strategies for dealing with the digitalisation of work: the shifting of spatial and temporal boundaries in the organisation of work, new initiatives of interest representation to regulate work, organise employees and mobilise workers in transnational contexts, and, finally, the prospects of shaping the design of work in digital working worlds. The book emphasises that the challenges of regulating and shaping work in digital contexts and the opportunities to do so are intertwined with other trends.

    This article tackles the question of how labour representatives cope with the implementation of ‘Industrie 4.0’ in German manufacturing plants. Digitalisation of manufacturing is going along with challenges for employment, work organisation and working conditions. The article analyses one of the main strategies German unions have developed, the project ‘Work 2020’, which was to raise works councils' awareness of the workplace impact of digitalisation, improve their knowledge of the changes, raise their capacity to respond and, finally, lead to the negotiation of workplace agreements on this issue with employers. The results of the analysis show that a strong interplay between unions and works councils and the activation of works councils by the unions have become indispensable preconditions for coping with the new challenges both of digitalisation and of the ongoing erosion of the German system of labour relations
