| Abstract: | This article analyses collectively agreed PECs mil EU countries, focusing on their importance for employment and collective bargaining policy. It is shown that, irrespective of differences in emphasis, the agreements reached generally constitute a productive alternative to the prevailing strategy of responding to declining demand primarily by shedding labour PECs, by contrast, do not rely mainly on short-term cost-cutting, but rather seek to raise both productivity and flexibility by means of comprehensive restructuring measures within the company. The fîñus is on improving internal flexibility, indeed external flexibility is often reduced by way of job guarantees. An important role is also played by steps to redistribute work via working time reductions. |
