PARTICIPATION: A EURO PAPER TIGER?

Abstract

A discussion of the EC proposals for 1992 on employee participation in the supervision and strategic management of those companies wishing to operate as European Companies (SEs); and the effect this may have on the role of trade unions. The three alternative forms of model of participation are described and reviewed in the light of present British practice. The practical difficulties are considered and the three areas pinpointed where the proposals currently advanced may further undermine the position and role of British trade unions, these being: (1) representation rights, (2) collective bargaining, and (3) information disclosure.
