This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a period characterised by both prolonged recession and the increasing complexity of enterprises, informing and consulting with workers becomes all the more important. It is therefore not surprising that the European Commission of the EEC's proposal in favour of a directive concerning such activities attracted attention and created controversy. As the controversy continued with no sign of abating, the Group for European Policy Studies (GEPE-SEP) broke new ground by placing the problem within a broader context. This title, first published in 1986, analyses the idea that the issue of informing and consulting with workers in multinational enterprises should best be examined within the context of the general economic and social evolution of the member countries and in relation to the national and international instruments and practices in place. The broader viewpoint allows a better grasp of the issues involved as well as of the advantages and problems in informing and consulting workers on various aspects of working life. This title will be of interest to students of business studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the issue of employee representation in multinational companies (MNCs), this book sets out to systematically conceptualise the modes of articulation between different action fields. While previous studies have focused on forms of employee representation that have emerged throughout recent decades, rather little is known about the interaction and coordination of representational bodies and actors, such as trade unions and European or World Works Councils. Given the growing importance of transnational restructuring in MNCs, understanding the conditions under which employees are able to participate in company decision-making is a crucial issue. Based on empirical case studies and interviews with employee representatives from ten countries across Europe, the authors investigate the role of representational bodies in periods of company restructuring. Proposing a shift in perspectives in research on transnational labour relations and bringing new insights into structures and practices of employee representation in MNCs, this book will be a valuable read for both scholars and practitioners.

Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. The emergence of the European Works Councils (EWCs) is one of the most important developments in international industrial relations and the most significant intervention by the European Union in the industrial relations field. This volume is the second of three studies into the establishment and operation of EWCs conducted by the authors. It examines the development of a typology of EWCs and explores the prospects for establishing networks of EWCs, using case studies drawn from the food, banking and insurance sectors. The book is an informative text for researchers, academics and practitioners who wish to locate empirical material and practical experience in a developmental and theoretical framework.

Book excerpt: This work considers the implementation of the new European Works Council Directive which will come into force by the end of 1996. This directive is a flexible instrument which is intended to enhance productivity within companies by opening up a social dialogue in those companies. It is the first measure to set up a truly European model for companies operating in Europe. The framework it sets up allows companies to adopt a ready-made model or to agree to voluntary agreements. Assessing the likely impact of the directive, this book analyzes its controversial provisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Involvement of employees in the social dialogue has always been an ongoing and vigorous concern of the European Union. Over the years since the European Works Councils (EWCs) were established in 1994, expectations regarding their role have grown, particularly in anticipating and managing change as corporate activities have become increasingly internationalized. Finally, after fifteen years of ongoing debate, Directive 2009/28/EC, establishing a new legal framework for EWCs, took effect in June 2009, with Member States obligated to implement the new rules at national level by June 2011. The 2009 Directive is intended to ensure that employees' transnational information and consultation rights are effective, to increase the number of European Works Councils established, to strengthen the legal certainty of negotiated outcomes involving EWCs, and to ensure that the directives on information and consultation of employees are better linked. This essential guide is the first publication to annotate and analyze the new Directive. It describes the many changes from the previous Council Directive 94/45/EC, and expertly traces the legislative history through all the intervening preparatory documents. It examines the most important provisions in depth, shedding clear light on such issues as the following: - the new definitions of 'information' and 'consultation'; - the nature of the stronger links between national and transnational levels of employee information and consultation; - employers' obligation to pass on information to local representatives of employees; - training of EWC members; - the composition of the Special Negotiating Body (SNB); - the presence of experts, including trade union representatives, in negotiation meetings; - employee representatives' right to collectively represent the employees; - the role of EWCs and workers' representatives in the EU's merger control procedures; - fall-back rules that improve EWCs' consultation in case of restructuring; and - provisions ensuring that EWCs are informed and consulted without calling into question the company's capacity to adapt. The author's insightful perspectives - e.g., on how the courts are likely to interpret such phrases as "rights arising from the directive" in specific contexts - add greatly to the practical value of the analysis. Annexes include virtually all relevant primary documents, encompassing pronouncements of the Commission, the Parliament, the social partners, and the European Economic and Social Committee. Beyond a doubt, this timely bulletin is essential reading for representatives of multinational enterprises operating in the EU, labour law and industrial relations scholars, representatives of trade unions and employers' associations, human resources professionals, lawyers negotiating EWC agreements, and concerned policymakers and government officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1996 a growing number of European employees have access to a European works council (EWC), a transnational employee body designed to complement national forms of labour representation . This volume brings together a hep hive of contributors who present valuable new insights into how employee representatives from different European countries perform their jobs as members of European Works Councils in an attempt to develop some sense of a common European labour identity The transnational character of the EWC makes it an ideal microscopic structure through which the wider discourse surrounding identity – especially when associated with globalization, Europeanization, and mobility – can occur. ‘Towards a European Labour Identity’ examines not only the workings of the EWCs, utilising individual case studies, but also analyses and asses the link with the broader discussions on European identity as well as European trade union co-ordination and solidarity.

This book was released on 2002-08-28 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteen essays in this volume concentrate on the issues surrounding workers' participation, the area of industrial relations uppermost in Marco Biagi's thinking at the time of his assassination in March 2002. The trend toward ever greater employee involvement in managerial decisionmaking has been growing in Europe for over a decade, to a significant extent as a result of Biagi's work. From the start, he clearly discerned that the key to quality of work was worker participation. This book stands not merely as a homage, but as evidence that Biagi's assassination will not affect the progress he was making. In what amounts to an integrated series of recommendations for further European legislation on workers' participation in industrial relations, the authors analyse and evaluate the following: experience gained from implementation of the European Works Council Directive and the European Company Statute Directive; implications of the new Directive on Information/Consultation in National Undertakings and of the European Forum on the Financial Participation of Workers; and experience in a variety of national contexts, including those of Japan, Italy, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Poland, and Slovenia. In the final analysis, employee involvement--when it is a genuine commitment on the part of all stakeholders--is seen as a sharing of cultural values that successfully reconciles efficiency and social justice. Those who believe this is a goal worth achieving, for reasons both economic and social, will recognize in this book an immensely valuable contribution.
