Studies on industrial relations in Portugal have not paid much attention to the roleof the latest information and communication technologies. In seeking to help fillthis gap, this article characterises the use of the Internet by Portuguese trade unions,by presenting a typology of theirwebsites and determining whether there arestatistically significant associations between that typology and each union’s membershipof the main national confederations. The authors base themselves on theprinciple that the fragmented nature of the trade union structure in Portugal leadsto different communication strategies. The conclusion sets out a number of hypothesesthat may help explain the results of the present study.
