  6. Introduction to the Social Dialogue: A Definition “Negotiation, consultation or simply exchange of information among representatives of governments, employers and workers” • EU Level • State Level • Plant Level

  7. Normative sources of the Social Dialogue European framework (Art. 136, 137, 138, 139 of the Treaty; Art. 27, 28 of Nice Charter) Constitutions Legislation

  8. European Framework • Art. 136: Social Dialogue as an objective • Art. 137: Implementation of directives to the social partners’ • Art. 138: Social partners’ role at the EU level • Art. 139: Collective bargaining at the EU level • Art. 27, 28 Charter of Nice : Fundamental Rights

  9. Constitutions • Principle of freedom of collective bargaining • Trade union freedom • No mention in the Netherlands’ system

  10. Legislation Sources of regulation of social dialogue: • Laws and collective labour agreements (Belgium, Italy, Finland) • Laws only (Germany, Spain, Lithuania and The Netherlands) Bargaining hierarchy implemented; • but in some countries (i.e. Germany) it may depend on practice of opening clauses

  11. Different system of representation: • Single channel (Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Finland) • Dual channel (Belgium, Spain, The Netherlands)

  12. General body of representation: • Belgium: workers and management • Other countries: workers only

  13. Conditions of establishing a trade union: • No restrictions for small companies • Avoiding inadequate representation (so called ”yellow trade unions”) Criteria to decide which trade union should represent workers

  14. Membership of trade unions • Differences in representation • Differences between age, gender, sector and occupation • Loss of power for trade unions due to the shifting from sector level to company level

  21. Structure of trade unions • are organised on: - sector base - occupational base ● countries are organized: - a dominant trade union - a few dominant trade unions

  22. Consequences of the actual situation Close link between implementation and historical development Depending on strength of legal structures - low - high Power and influence of trade unions – sufficient impact? Loss of competitiveness?

  23. Increase of collective bargaining on plant level - specifying on local needs • Flexibility of the local level - depends on different backgrounds - freedom to adapt superordinated collective agreements

  24. Conclusions Proposals • Stop the trend of declining membership number of trade unions • Improve the information flow between different levels • Framework

  25. ASSIMILIATED BUT NOT UNIFORM SYSTEM!!! • Generally binding agreements • German system of „opening-clauses“ • Clear separation of competences between work council and trade unions
