European Works Councils - Facts and Figures 2006

A few hundred giant multinational firms control major shares of the international economy. The decisions taken by central management of these multinational companies affect workers in all their European subsidiaries. The European Directive on European Works Councils (EWCs), requires multinational companies to build a bridge between their decision-making centre and European workers' representatives.

Industrial relations in Central and Eastern Europe. Transformation and integration. A comparison of the eight new EU member states.

The handbook Industrial relations in Central and Eastern Europe offers a comparative study of industrial relations in the new EU member states. A set of individual country reports, based on wide-ranging empirical findings, describe the process of changing industrial relations and developments currently underway.

EWC facts and figures

This ETUI study uncovers a weak spot in interest representation in multinational undertakings in Europe: only 639 of these companies have European works councils.
