The Sectoral Social Dialogue In Europe

"SALTSA, a joint programme for working life research in Europe"--P. facing t.p.

This book provides a first comprehensive assessment of sectoral social dialogue practices in future EU member states. It shows that while tripartite consultative institutions have been set up in most of these countries during their transition years, and decentralised collective bargaining has started to regulate working conditions within individual enterprises, little attention has been paid to social dialogue at intermediate levels, in particular to sectoral social dialogue, which obviously remains the 'weakest link' of their industrial relations.

Describes, analyses, and assesses the European social dialogue from a combined theoretical and normative perspective and applies theoretical strands stemming from industrial relations, EC law, and political theory to an understanding and assessment of the genesis, actors, processes, and outcomes of the European social dialogue through 2007
