European Works Councils (Routledge Studies in Employment Relations)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
European Works Councils were established just over a decade ago as the first transnational industrial relations institutions at company level. They have had a major impact on goverments, employers, employees and trade unions as well as being the subject of intense academic scrutiny and debate. This edited collection draws from each of these sources with contributions from leading academics, senior trade unionists and employers.
The book is organized around four distinctive themes. The first introduces European Works Councils and provides overviews that will inform the understanding of both newcomers to the subject and specialists. The second part of the book focuses on an assessment of the European Directive 'in action' with contributions from European employers and trade union representatives. The third part, focuses on the experience of managers and trade unionists in facing the problems and possibilities involved in running a European Works Council. The final section takes us into the future of EuropeanWorks Councils in a globalized economy. Published at a time of major review of the European Directive, this book provides a unique review of developments from the perspective of both practitioners and academics.
With case studies, theoretical overviews, data analysis and contrasting opinions, this book will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers of Business and Management Studies, Industrials Relations and Employee Relations.
