Analysing the functioning of EWC

An overview of the literature on European Works Councils learns us that the empirical research done is limited to surveys and snap-shot case studies recording the practice of EWCs at one fixed point in time. The aim of this project is to analyse and compare developments of EWC practice. Nine European Works Councils have been studied between 2001 and 2005 on the basis of face to face interviews and telephone interviews. Individual case study reports have been developed in 2003. The longitudinal and comparative analysis will be finalised in 2005. The results of this study will then be finalised in a monography in 2006. 

Description

 The objective is to elaborate on the different features of the operation of EWCs. Firstly, the research aims to find factors that assist in or obstruct the development of co-operative relationships between the employee-side actors within the EWC. The development of this European networking of employee representatives will be regarded as forms of EWC progress, which will be analysed in a comparative way. Secondly, the research will also be directed towards understanding how European Industry Federations (EIFs) support EWCs, if at all. This aspect of the study will address issues such as relations between EIFs and their affiliates, co-operation between affiliates, and the articulation of levels of activity.

Finaly, research results will be compared with findings from other EWC case study research projects recently finalised, at a meeting of involved researchers.
