It has been designed first and foremost to help practitioners to prepare and conduct negotiations on agreements on employee involvement in SEs. The handbook introduces the SE and its mechanism of employee involvement. It explains the negotiation procedures and provides ‘tips and tricks’ for a decent preparation of negotiations. Based on the experience of several experts, it gives an overview of key aspects of an SE agreement and includes an extensive set of overviews, graphics and comparative tables.

It assesses the overall significance and impact of the SE on the business sector and on worker involvement in Europe and provides an outlook for the future of the SE.

Key questions addressed in the book are: How has the SE been implemented in practice? How great has the uptake of the European Company by the business community been? Are there significant differences between countries and sectors? What impact has the European Company had on business practice? Has it improved company mobility and flexibility? What impact has it had on national industrial relations systems and Social Europe? To what extent has it inspired other legislative initiatives by the EU Commission? What will the likely future development of the European Company be?

Download or read book Quality of Work and Employee Involvement in Europe written by Marco Biagi and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. 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.

Download or read book European Works Councils written by Roger Blanpain and published by Kluwer Law International. This book was released on 2009 with total page 308 pages. 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.

Download or read book European Works Councils Negotiated Europeanisation written by Wolfgang Lecher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: Negotiated Europeanisation is the final study in a three-volume series on European Works Councils by an international research group. The first two studies have already been published by Ashgate. The current study is rooted in an analysis of the establishment of EWCs under Articles 5 and 6 of the 1994 EWC Directive. This is now a mandatory procedure and completes the development of EWCs from bodies set up purely by voluntary negotiation to bodies set up within a binding statutory procedure. The study is based on cases of five (named) major European firms in a variety of industrial sectors. As well as a detailed consideration of how negotiations using the mandatory procedure took place, there are more general reflections on the 'quality' of the actors involved, the negotiating process and the outcomes. As well as their analytical value, these observations offer a number of practical pointers on the establishment of information and consultation arrangements internationally. The study also asks why EWCs have been set up in only one third of eligible companies and why the pace of establishing new EWCs slowed after the mandatory procedure came into force in September 1996. This part of the study is based upon a pan-European questionnaire and offers the first empirical findings on this issue. European Works Councils exemplify a new mode of regulation at the European level, not only within industrial relations but in the field of European integration more widely conceived - Europe as a multi-level system of governance within a framework of devolved subsidiarity. This study is of both academic and practical interest, particularly in view of the continuing process of change in this area, exemplified in new Directives on the European Company Statute and information and consultation at national level.
