Samenvatting

European Framework Agreements from the Perspective of Central and Eastern European Countries is a book in which a group of labour law experts from the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) thoroughly investigates the labour-related challenges arising due to the limited collective bargaining coverage and/or lower employment standards that characterise the region and have shaped a labour relations environment different from that of Western Europe. European transnational company agreements (TCAs) – designed to ensure appropriate employment conditions within the entire business group, including subsidiary companies – are often perceived as opportunities to promote social dialogue.

What’s in this book:

The overall approach is twofold: relevant literature and court decisions are taken into account, but a major strength of the endeavour derives from in-depth personal interviews with trade unionists, representatives of employers’ organisations, and European Works Council delegates. Building on this rich foundation, the contributors examine such factors as the following: 

  • the structural fragility of TCAs combined with their continuing symbolic significance;
  • linking social dialogue with the simultaneous digitalisation;
  • bridging voluntary corporate initiatives and authentic, autonomous collective bargaining;
  • effect of such EU legislation as the 2022 Adequate Minimum Wages Directive;
  • advancing occupational safety and health;
  • hybrid forms of disruption and symbolic protest;
  • information, consultation, and participation rights during cross-border corporate reorganisations; and
  • employers’ obligations in subcontracting and supply chain contexts.

How this will help you:

Recognising that European labour law and social policy have entered a new phase in the past decade, the contributors present the role of TCAs as a significant element in a broader transformation of labour relations. Unions, employers, policymakers, practitioners, and academics concerned with labour and employment law will welcome not only the contributors’ critical diagnosis and practical policy-relevant guidance but also their recognition that TCAs can serve as laboratories of transnational labour solidarity.
