Relations industrielles

This report examines the quality of industrial relations in the public sector in five EU Member States: France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, and Italy. Today there is pressure for change and reform across the European Union public sector, with particular emphasis on increased efficiency and effectiveness within tight expenditure constraints, concerns about job security and problems of labour shortages as a result of recruitment breaks and retention problems. The report looks at different models of integrative bargaining aimed at ‘win-win’ solutions. The summary is also available (EF0439).

The quality of industrial relations in the European public sector (summary)

This research, commissioned by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, reports on the quality of industrial relations in the public sector in five countries: France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, and Italy. The project has surveyed recent literature, collective agreements, legislation and public documents, and draws upon the expert opinions of industrial relations experts in local government across several countries. An objective of the study was to generate a series of benchmarks concerning the quality of industrial relations that may be used by the social partners in the manner of self-assessment and to promote mutual learning across the public sector and between countries. The report is also available (EF03104).
