This article describes how cross-border trade union cooperation has developed between de- centralised structures of Italian and German metalworkers’ unions, since the intertwining of industries in Germany and Italy. Starting with the presentation of the main contents of this cooperation, which concerns multinational companies and their supply chains, the possible role of the German supply chain due diligence act in the context of Italian industrial rela- tions is discussed. It is hypothesised that the implementation of this law can contribute to limiting the power imbalance between capital and labour that has steadily increased in the past in the global supply chains of multinational companies. But it is also assumed that this can only be achieved based on consolidated trade union cooperation across borders.
