The Establishment of the European Company: The First Cases from an Industrial Relations Perspective

Abstract: ■ This article presents the first systematic empirical analysis of all European Companies established at the time of writing, and focuses on industrial relations issues and the negotiated rules of employee involvement in particular. It elaborates on the election procedures, the special negotiation body and the mechanisms of employee information and consultation and board-level representation. Some tentative conclusions consider the likely impact on the development of European industrial relations.
