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.
