Book Description
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.
European Works Councils in Belgium
Why Aren't There More European Works Councils? A Belgian Perspective

Pages : 5
Book Description
This policy brief considers the lack of European Works Councils through a Belgian perspective. It discusses Belgian companies who are currently engaged in establishing one or have developed 'functionally equivalent' structures. The remaining companies are confronted with serious obstacles to establishing a European Works Council, principally: (i) a lack of knowledge about them, (ii) weak and time-consuming national-level information and consultation processes, and (iii) a low perceived added value of transnational information and consultation. It evaluates what needs to be done in order to increase the number of EWCs and what trade unions need to do in order to raise awareness on the importance of EWCs at European level.

Author: Heiko Landgraf, Christin Pleines
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3838207343
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328

This book examines the integration of major trade unions from the six biggest countries of EU's Eastern enlargement into EU governance structures. Based on extensive empirical research, including more than 150 in-depth interviews, statistical data collection, document research, and eight detailed case studies, the contributions describe the activities and perceptions of the trade unions under investigation and the different levels of engagement, including European umbrella organizations, interregional cooperation, and European Works Councils. The book thus contributes to political science research on interest representation and Europeanization as well as sociological research on labor relations.
