'Evolution and Trends in Industrial Relations in Central and Eastern European Countries', Giuseppe Casale, Issue 1, pp. 5–32 |
infoGiuseppe Casale, 'Evolution and Trends in Industrial Relations in Central and Eastern European Countries' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 1, pp. 5–32 | | Abstract: The purpose of this comparative overview is to provide an analysis of recent trends, issues and challenges facing the labour law and labour relations systems in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. One of the major difficulties in preparing such an overview arises from the great differences which exist in the countries of the region. Changes in collective bargaining and the laws which affect countries like Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland do not have much in common with each other, while problems in law and collective bargaining in Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina are quite different from those in Lithuania or Slovakia. In order to make the analysis meaningful, it is necessary in this overview to concentrate on certain fundamental problems in the light of the enlargement of the EU. Therefore, the report focuses on issues such as collective bargaining, the extension of collective agreements and labour dispute settlements.

'Economic versus Social Convergence in Hungary Preparing for EU Membership', Orsolya Farkas, Issue 1, pp. 33–54 |
infoOrsolya Farkas, 'Economic versus Social Convergence in Hungary Preparing for EU Membership' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 1, pp. 33–54 | | Abstract: The present article aims to point to some contradictory aspects of the forthcoming Eastern Enlargement of the EU. These contradictions can be perceived both between the EU and the Candidate Countries, and Hungary. It will be highlighted that the formal transposition of the ‘social and labour law acquis’, does not automatically mean substantial alignment. There is an urgent need to attribute a prominent role to solidarity and social inclusion as fundamental values, since not everybody is capable of adapting to the drastic economic and social changes, Eastern Europeans had to go through during the last decade when economic transformation took precedence over social issues.

'Towards a New Community Strategy on Health and Safety at Work? Caught in the Institutional Web of Soft Procedures', Stijn Smismans, Issue 1, pp. 55–83 |
infoStijn Smismans, 'Towards a New Community Strategy on Health and Safety at Work? Caught in the Institutional Web of Soft Procedures' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 1, pp. 55–83 | | Abstract: During the 1990s, Community occupational health and safety policy shifted from a strong regulatory approach to more persuasive policy-making. However, while it is entirely justified to stress the importance of good implementation of occupational health and safety standards, the Community’s post ‘regulatory boom’ in policy in this area still looks largely like a ‘testing out’ of various soft procedures, the effectiveness of which still needs to be proven. The new occupational health and safety strategy proposed by the Commission in March 2002 does not manage to provide a coherent and efficient institutional framework. As long as the Member States do not consider occupational health and safety a political priority, the small occupational health and safety division of the Commission – which lacks the instruments and power to ensure inspection of implementation, and which has seen a good part of its resources disappearing into an Agency over which it has little control – will have a hard time to respond to the challenges of the sector.

'Health and Safety Regulatory Framework – A Comparative Perspective', Victoria Howes, Issue 1, pp. 85–107 |
infoVictoria Howes, 'Health and Safety Regulatory Framework – A Comparative Perspective' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 1, pp. 85–107 | | Abstract: The development and application of health and safety laws in a country depend on several aspects including, in particular, the historical development of the legal system and laws in the country concerned and the impact of the international and supranational laws and regulations. Since the European Community has a common legal framework, it is tempting to conclude that health and safety laws in the Member States should be the same. However, there are some significant differences in the application of the law. For example, the enforcement practices vary from country to country and different liabilities can be imposed on the employer for breach of the statutory requirements. Four areas of health and safety law, that is employer’s duties and responsibilities, enforcement, liability and sanctions will be considered in this article in three Member States: Germany, Sweden and Finland, with a comparative perspective in relation to the United Kingdom.

infoKatell Berthou, 'New Hopes for French Anti-Discrimination Law' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 1, pp. 107–137 | | Abstract: This article provides an analysis of the recent legal developments in France in the field of equal treatment and equal opportunity in the workplace. It begins with a survey of the situation prior to 2001, paying special attention to the failures of French law, in particular where the burden of proof and indirect discrimination are concerned. It then proceeds to examine the two statutes enacted in 2001. In an attempt to implement EC Directives 2000/43/EC and 2000/78/EC these statutes provide additional incentives for collective bargaining on sex equality, an extension of the scope of protection against discrimination, a new regime as regards the burden of proof and measures to ensure more effective judicial protection.

The main thesis of the paper is that the new Code undoubtedly contains many mechanisms intended to make labour relations and industrial relations in Russia much more flexible, so that, at least in broad terms, it can be considered deregulatory. By making labour law more flexible, the Russian Government has launched a legislative political platform aimed at recovering the effectiveness and efficiency of statutory rules, with a view to striking a ‘sustainable’ and ‘realistic’ balance between employee protection and companies‘ needs in the new socio-economic conditions.

In August 2001 the Government of the Russian Federation made a request to the International Labour Office (further – ILO) to comment on the draft Code (further – Draft) adopted by the State Duma (the lower house of Parliament) of the Russian Federation in the first reading. In response to this request, the ILO experts prepared a Memorandum (further – Memorandum), addressed to the Government. The purpose of this article is to analyse the influence of international labour standards on the new Code both by virtue of the existence of the international binding instruments and by the implementation of the proposals in the Memorandum, together with the views expressed by the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (further – CEACR).

Adventures and Misadventures of the French Act of 17 January 2002 on Social Modernisation' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 2, pp. 179–186 | | Abstract: This paper traces the implementation of labour market reforms in France, with particular reference to the Social Modernisation Act approved by the centre-left government in January 2002. Whereas the new centre-right government elected in June 2002 has ‘softened’ earlier legislative provisions for the 35-hour week, case law has actually extended redundancy provisions. Significant parts of the Social Modernisation Act have been suspended by a sort of Sleeping Beauty measure for an 18-month period, and the Government’s intention is for the social parties to negotiate the terms of new legislation, in spite of the employers’ apparent reluctance to engage in such negotiations. Against this backdrop, the author outlines a possible scenario for the future of collective bargaining.

infoEnrico Traversa, 'Protection of Part-time Workers in the Case Law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 2, pp. 219–241 | | Abstract: The author examines 20 years of case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities on part-time work. The 25 judgments are scrutinized on the basis of homogenous areas of the employment relationship such as pay, access to career advancement, access to vocational training, working conditions including conditions of dismissal, occupational pension schemes and statutory social security allowances. The Court has applied former Article 119 of the Treaty and provisions of Community Directives on equal treatment between men and women at work since it has consistently found that many more women than men are employed on a part-time basis. The overall picture which emerges from the cases brought before the Court of Justice appears to give rise to concern because discrimination relates to a wide range of working conditions, affecting mainly low-skilled workers, and derives from both national laws or regulations and collective agreements signed by trade unions representatives. As a result, detailed and enforceable Community rules appear to be indispensable to ensure adequate legal protection for part-time workers.

infoJuan Ángel Confalonieri, 'The Reform of Apprenticeship Contracts in Argentina' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 2, pp. 243–252 | | Abstract: The author outlines the terms of work-training and apprenticeship contracts in Argentina, highlighting the differences between these contractual forms and the range of temporary contracts that have recently been introduced. Quantitative limits on the number of temporary training contracts in an enterprise are defined by an engagement parameter, i.e. the number of apprentices, and an occupational size parameter, i.e. the number of workers. Certain obligations on the part of the employer are laid down by law and further defined by collective bargaining. There is a need for collective bargaining to deal with the matter of how much of the trainees’ time should be given over to theoretical training, as this is currently not clearly stated. Other matters in need of further clarification include certification and the payment of wages. Employers failing to respect the terms of temporary training contracts face the sanction of conversion to permanent contracts.

These ongoing reforms challenge a broad range of acquired rights and raise major policy issues for decision-makers and the social partners. They also provoke adverse effects and therefore require a broad social dialogue on the most effective policy mix. There are major obstacles to achieving consensus, but some countries have succeeded more than others, by adopting different strategies.

infoMichele Tiraboschi, Marlene Schmidt, Olga Rymkevitch, 'Editorial' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 269–270 | | European labour law is becoming increasingly complex, though there has been little harmonisation of collective labour law so far, and legal systems continue to differ significantly from each other. The terms ‘collective agreement’, ‘industrial action’, ‘workers’ representation’ and ‘workers’ participation’ refer to different legal concepts in the various EU Member States. In his comprehensive analysis, Robert Rebhahn explains and compares these concepts, their differences and similarities, and contrasts them with the respective concepts in the US. The only field of European collective labour law where harmonisation has taken place so far is information and consultation of workers. Besides a number of specific information and consultation rights laid down in several directives, Directive 2002/14/EC establishes a general framework for informing and consulting employees. It may be assumed that its implementation will bring about fundamental changes in employment relations of those Member States that do not as yet provide a general system of information and consultation, i.e. the United Kingdom and Ireland. In her article Pascale Lorber discusses this assumption in relation to the UK. Copyright © 2003 Kluwer Law International All rights reserved ISSN: 0952-617X ID: IJCL2003015 |

Collective Agreements, Settlement of Disputes and Workers’ Participation (Part I)' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 271–295 | | Abstract: Collective agreements and industrial action, workers’ representation at plant and enterprise level, and participation in management boards are often at the centre of political debate. They play an important role whenever labour law is considered as a factor for making a country an attractive business location. It is therefore of interest to compare the legal situations in the EU Member States. This article focuses on legal structures rather than on industrial relations, revealing a wide variation. With regard to collective agreements there is a common core of European law, though countries differ considerably. There is wide variation in terms of industrial action, and in terms of strikes for better working conditions. There are also great differences in employees’ representation and participation beyond information and consultation on general matters. A detailed examination of the legal situations seems to be a prerequisite for any reflection on the harmonisation of labour law.

infoPascale Lorber, 'National Works Councils: Opening the Door on a Whole New Era in United Kingdom Employment Relations?' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 297–319 | | Abstract: This paper intends to look at the challenges that the European Directive on national information and consultation will pose to the legal framework in the United Kingdom. In particular the author will consider whether the statement that ‘national works councils would open the door on a whole new era in the UK employment relations’ is a true one. This will be done by briefly looking at the aim and the content of the Directive and more particularly at the reaction of the UK government when it comes to transposition in light of the first consultation paper produced by the Department of Trade and Industry on this issue. This paper will therefore focus on the preliminary attitude of the government towards this instrument and whether it bodes well for substantial changes in collective relations.

A Comparison of Dutch and German Case Law on Working-Time Adjustment' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 321–346 | | Abstract: Recently an individual right to part-time work was introduced in the Netherlands as well as in Germany, implementing work-family policies. These Acts on working-time adjustment are comparable, as the German Act was modelled on the Dutch one. The respective laws allow the employee a working-time reduction unless business reasons preclude it. Both Acts have been in force for over two years, presenting us with an initial opportunity to study their impact so far, and to consider whether the law indeed puts work-family policies effectively into practice. So far, the German and Dutch courts have found in favour of working-time reduction in the majority of claims. However, some difficulties remain in respect of the swiftness of court decisions, the interpretation of business reasons and inconsistencies between the number of hours and the pattern of working-time established.

infoMikio Yoshida, 'Fundamental Characteristics of Thai Labour Law and the Direction of Reform' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 347–362 | | Abstract: In the context of globalization, it has become necessary to understand Thai labour issues, since Thailand has strong economic ties with advanced capitalist countries. The first Thai Labour Act was introduced in 1956. However, a series of coups d’état were then carried out in Thailand, resulting in the dissolution of trade unions and abolition of labour law, and in about 1960 the Authoritarian Political Regime for Development was established. Under this system trade unions were strictly regulated and terms and conditions of work were regulated by notifications of the Ministry of the Interior. However, as the Thai economy and democracy have developed, Thai labour law has also changed. The Labour Protection Act was introduced in 1998 through deliberations in Parliament. Moreover, deliberations on the amendment bill of Labour Relations Act started at the end of the 1990s and at the moment there is some controversy about the revision. If the draft bill is enacted, the characteristics of labour law under the developmental regime will to some extent be changed. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to the development of legal reforms. Copyright © 2003 Kluwer Law International All rights reserved ISSN: 0952-617X ID: IJCL2003019 |

The first part presents a preliminary summary of major legislative changes. Then, foreseeable problems of focal new instruments are discussed (first of all, personnel service agencies, various forms of mini jobs, new, preliminary self-employment, integrated systems of social support). Furthermore, additional and lasting problems of implementation are examined in some detail (among others, missing theoretical foundations and limitations, neglect of closely related policy areas, neglect of the European dimension). The concluding remarks present a rather critical overall assessment. Copyright © 2003 Kluwer Law International All rights reserved ISSN: 0952-617X ID: IJCL2003020 |

infoJeff Kenner, 'Síofra O’Leary, Employment Law at the European Court of Justice: Judicial Structures, Policies and Processes' (2003) 19 International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, Issue 3, pp. 405–409 | | Labour lawyers often feel deeply ambivalent about the European Court of Justice. Few can doubt the pivotal role played by the Court in shaping the contours of European Community employment law. The Court has breathed life into the dry language of Treaty provisions and Community legislation in areas such as equal pay and acquired rights, enabling individuals to use the law as a sword against their employer and/or Member State in the national courts. Community law has also, in the hands of the Court, provided a shield for the protection of collective systems of social organisation and distribution against untrammelled market forces. However, for every advance, the Court’s detractors can point to a retreat: the potential of P v S was soon limited in Grant; Schmidt was trumped in Süzen; and BECTU was narrowed down in Bowden. Cases such as Albany International and Schröder, initially lauded, have, on closer inspection, left a mixed and uncertain legacy. For all of these reasons – and more – a book that places the work of the Court of Justice at the centre of its examination of Community employment law is both timely and welcome.

As far as European social law is concerned, the opus of Eichenhofer and the commentary edited by Fuchs provide considerable insight into the determinants of European law for the application of German law. While secondary European social law has alway focused in particular on the co-ordination of various social benefits, European labour law, determined by Directives, has fast gained importance in the last few years and increasingly influences the legal relationship between the parties to employment contracts. Evidence of the growing relevance of the Community framework is the recently published Handbuch by Hanau, Steinmeyer and Wank. In more than 1,300 pages the authors provide a comprehensive and impressive insight into European labour law and social law and, at the same time, overcome what, from a European point of view, is the dubious division into labour law on the one hand and social law on the other.
