Industrial Relations in Europe, 2000
The major influences on industrial relations in the European Union, mainly over the last two decades, are described. One key observation is that economic and monetary union has helped to create a more cooperative industrial relations climate based on shared macro economic objectives. The sharp drop in the number of industrial disputes illustrates this change. The number of working days lost through disputes in the EU fell from more than 85 million in 1979 to less than 7 million in 1996. A comparative picture of employment law, trade union membership, industrial disputes, working time patterns, and wage trends between the EU Member States is illustrated through tables and graphs.
Quality of Work in the European Union
This collective volume on quality of work in the European Union offers a comprehensive analysis on the current situation of the tensions between work and welfare in Europe, with a special emphasis on employment-related issues. The volume tackles a crucial aspect of employment policies, namely the strengthening of the quality dimension in the decisions taken by policy-makers to foster the performance of the labour market and to combine this orientation with the demands of workers for welfare, protection and a better reconciliation of work and family life. Quality of work has been on the agenda of policy-makers, practitioners and academics for the last few years, promoting a wide debate. The book provides a contribution to this debate and takes into consideration a range of issues associated with the analysis of work quality from an innovative perspective. Relevant subtopics including a conceptual and political analysis of work quality, wage differentials and in-work poverty, gender issues or workers' direct and indirect representation in the firm and its relation with work quality are addressed.
Towards a European Model of Industrial Relations?:Building on the First Report of the European Commission
A social dialogue has been in progress concerning industrial relations on a European level. The publication of the first Report of the European Commission on Industrial Relations demonstrates that, rather than merely harmonizing regimes, EU policy is focusing on the pursuit of basic aims.
A decade of experience with the European Company
This publication of the SEEurope Network provides a comprehensive overview of the legislation on the European company (SE – Societas Europaea) and its history and development. 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. The publication also makes specific recommendations for policymakers regarding the future revision of the SE legislation specifically as well as European company law and corporate governance generally. 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?
