The practice of consultation between senior managers and employee
representatives has a long history in British employment relations
yet has often been overshadowed by discussions on collective
bargaining. In the last few decades, the importance of consultation
has been elevated by two main trends: the decline in trade union
membership and the retreat from collective bargaining in the
private sector on the one hand, with the result that consultation
may be the only form of collective employee voice available; and
the programme of legislative support for consultation by the
European Union since the 1970s on the other. The book charts the
meaning and development of consultation in the twentieth century
and explores the justifications for the practice. It shows how EU
intervention to promote consultation evolved and changed, paying
particular attention to the adoption of the Information and
Consultation of Employees (ICE) Regulations, which became fully
operational in enterprises with 50 or more employees in 2008.
Analysing the half-hearted response to EU consultation initiatives
by the social partners in Britain, it provides a critical
assessment of successive UK governments' handling of the issue.
Drawing on the authors' empirical research in twenty-five
organizations, the book closely examines the take-up and impact of
consultation regulations, and explores the processes involved in
effective consultation. Consultation at Work looks at the dynamics
of consultation and draws a contrast between 'active' consultation
of the type envisaged by the EU, and more limited consultation used
as a means of communication. Discussing the UK experience in
comparative perspectives, it asks what has to happen for the
take-up of consultation to improve and suggests the changes that
should be made to the EU Directive and UK ICE Regulations.
