| Abstract: | This article discusses the role of European Works Councils (EWCs) in industrial restructuring in the European car industry. It reviews a series of recent company agreements on local employment and investment guarantees, concluding that the industrial relations system in the industry is increasingly marked by competition btw. establishments over wages and secondary working conditions. The article also draws on a survey indicating that, in the new competitive regime in the industry, EWCs are used by local trade unionists primarily as means to further local interests. |
