Summary/Abstract: After more than four decades of socialism, social actors and the network of trade unionism are to a large extent absent or underdeveloped in post-socialist Slovenia. The strata of employees is still In the process of emerging, whereas the representatives of the government and of the trade unions often have incompatible mutual images and as a result also unrealistic expectations of each other. As for the trade union scene itself, it has become pluralist. The two largest trade unions are respectively confrontational and participative in orientation, whereas the remaining two trade unions included in our study are trying to maintain an equal distance from the two larger ones with a predominantly professional orientation.
