Worker board-level representation in the new EU Member States - Country reports on the national systems and practices (edited by Social Development Agency asbl and ETUI-REHS, 2005)

This publication presents a number of short reports on the national systems and practices of worker board-level representation in the ten new member states. Each report is divided into two parts: a description of the legislative background is followed by a practitioner report written by a worker board member in the respective country. Although the practice of board-level representation differs significantly not only from one member state to another but also within the countries themselves, these stories provide an interesting insight into the real meaning and practice of board-level representation in a specific country. The reports were written by experts and practitioners who participated in the PRESENS project.

The European Company - Prospects for worker board-level participation in the enlarged EU (edited by Norbert Kluge and Michael Stollt). Brussels 2006

The new booklet provides information on different aspects of the European Company (SE) such as the question of worker involvement, the national transposition processes and taxation aspects. Moreover, information is given on the development and the different national systems of worker participation on supervisory or administrative boards throughout the European Union.
The purpose of this booklet is above all practical: it is intended for everyone who needs information about the SE and about existing systems of worker board-level participation in the now 25 EU member states. The idea is to give readers an insight into the national backgrounds and experiences of those colleagues who sit down with management and jointly negotiate the question of worker involvement in the coming SE.
