First published in 1999, this volume evaluates the context, role and development of EWCs through eight case studies and asks whether EWCs will promote the Europeanisation of Industrial relations. The EWCs were the first European institution in the field of social policy and went far beyond simply requiring national implementation of a common framework. They were innovative in their requirements for a judicious blend of subsidiarity, shared responsibility and flexibility. This study represents the culmination of research carried out between September 1996 and September 1997 and sets out to anchor a number of qualitative case-studies in a systematic, nationally comparative approach.

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.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Arbeit, Ausbildung, Organisation, Note: 1,3, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Institut für Soziologie), Veranstaltung: From a National to a Transnational System - Industrial Relations in Motion, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Globalization is the driving force which propels human kind into an ever faster, more complex and interwoven economic system. In 1994 the European Works Councils Directive (EWCD) was passed by the Council of the European Union and 2016 marks the 20 years anniversary since the Directive came into force in 1996. The adoption of the Directive was marked by widespread debate and critics argued that the EWCD was a flawed means to generate transnational employee participation, while proponents saw great potential for an institution that fosters social dialog. The legislation was also controversial among policy makers. The European Commission envisioned a significant step forward for the development of the social dimension of industrial relations in Europe, while employer organizations opposed the EWCD and lobbied conscientiously to reduce the coverage of the Directive. For the last 20 years there has been controversy around the effectiveness of the policy and the modest adoption of the Directive. This paper seeks to spread light on whether there is enough value in European Works Councils for the institution to prosper. Therefore the underlying issues concerning the low number of European employee representation are explored. Surprisingly, Germany is one of the countries with the lowest EWC coverage rate among its European partners. Consequently, Europe’s biggest economy can serve as reverence point for problems with European Works Councils and is of special interest investigating the institution. This analysis shall serve as a steppingstone in order to figure out whether European Works Councils are of little value for workers, or whether the institution is still in the process of reaching its full potential.

The creation of European Works Councils is arguably the most important measure taken in global industrial relations in recent years. Adopted with the primary goal of facilitating European-level workers’ participation in information-sharing and consultation in multinational companies, EWCs have also been central to a wide-ranging process of institution-building at the European level. European Works Councils charts the growth in the number of EWCs and the development of practices associated with EWCs between 1994, when legislation on EWCs was adopted, and 2009, when the initial legislation was amended. Drawing on original, large-scale, survey data, the book shows that the quality of information and consultation is generally poor, thus bringing into question the soft touch legislative approach to employee participation of the European Commission. The reforms implemented within trade union organizations to accommodate the development of EWCs are explored, together with the initiatives taken to extend the role of EWCs beyond information and consultation to incorporate negotiation. Articulation between EWCs and trade union organizations is shown to be integral to EWCs as institutions of information and consultation, and as a means to influence managerial decision-making. Similarly, the development of EWCs is shown to be a process contested by employers’ organizations and managers on the one hand and labour organizations on the other. The character of this contestation ensures that the category ‘EWC’ includes a wide range of institutional forms and practices.

European works councils will have to be established in companies and groups of companies of a significant overall size and with a significant presence in at least two different Member States. It is clear that the number of affected companies, undertakings or establishments and certainly the overall number of affected workers is very high. European works councils are therefore an important phenomenon in European industrial relations. Practitioners and academics the world over need a handy instrument providing easy access to information regarding the European Directive and its significance and implementation in Member States of both the EC and the EEA. This book provides such a tool with regards to Belgium. The national legislation of Member States remains of the utmost importance, even though the establishment of a European works council within a given Community-scale undertaking or group as such is not governed by national, in this case Belgian, law. The involvement of Belgian employees in the transnational information and consultation process will, to a large extent, be subject to Belgian law in those European works councils that are established in companies or groups with subsidiary establishments in Belgium. In those cases, for example, Belgian law determines who will represent the Belgian employees in the negotiations of the Special Negotiating Body, and Belgian law determines the protection of the employee representatives in terms of wages and dismissal, etc.In light of all this, a combined study of both the European Directive and the Belgian implementing legislative measures is warranted.

In order to ensure compliance with the legal framework for European Works Councils (EWCs) established by Directive 2009/28/EC, it is essential for each Member State to strengthen the legal certainty of negotiated outcomes involving EWCs by ensuring that employees' information and consultation rights are effectively linked. This book - one of a series derived from the European Works Councils section of Kluwer's matchless multi-volume Encyclopaedia of Labour Law and Industrial Relations - focuses on the implementation of the EWC directive in France. It is thoroughly practical in orientation, and representatives of both employers and employees can be assured that it fulfils the need for accurate and detailed knowledge of the structure and progress of French programmes and initiatives affecting the role of EWCs in labour and industrial relations.

In 2016 it will be 20 years since the first European Works Councils (EWC) directive came into force in the EU. In the same year, the European Commission is planning an evaluation of the EWC recast directive that will undoubtedly lead to debate on the need for further review of European regulation of EWCs. The year 2015 also marks the fifteenth anniversary of adoption of the EU directive on workers’ involvement in the European Company (SE). This publication provides a broad selection of key figures on the basic characteristics of EWCs and SE WCs and the companies in which they operate. It covers both the demographics (e.g. development over years, establishment, sectoral distribution, etc.) as well as selected aspects of content analysis of agreements (composition, competences, meetings, facilities and resources). The book provides food for thought about the importance of this European institution, its potential effects on the Europeanisation of industrial relations, and its future development. The statistical data provide insight for practitioners (works council members, trade union coordinators, experts, trainers) and stakeholders into the distinctive features and characteristics of EWCs and SE WCs.
