This book focuses on the experience of social dialogue in Turkey, which is a European Union candidate country. It argues that social dialogue constitutes one of the fundamental pillars of European social model and therefore should be analysed not only at the supranational level but also at the national, sectoral and workplace levels. The book critically examines social dialogue processes and mechanisms in Turkey at various levels, with focus on the workplace because it is shaped by socio-cultural elements which contain many variables. The book also identifies the shortcomings and structural impediments of social dialogue, and provides an empirically grounded theoretical explanation of social dialogue in Turkey. In the process, the book explains and clarifies key concepts to help readers grasp important points relevant to social dialogue, and contains interviews with social partners to take into consideration their views and recommendations on social dialogue. These in-depth interviews also provide a rare insight into the dynamics of social dialogue on the ground. By looking at social dialogue at various levels, the book offers a balanced view of its strengths and weaknesses in Turkey. This book is a valuable tool for students, academics and researchers interested in understanding the complex dynamics of social dialogue and workplace relations in Turkey.
This unique book offers a comprehensive systematization and overview of the EU´s emerging ‘acquis’ and practice of Collective Labour Law. Although the core aspects of Collective Labour Law lie outside the EU’s competence to regulate, the laws and industrial relations systems of Member States are undoubtedly influenced by the EU, and the involvement of Social Partners, i.e. representatives of employers and workers, is essential for many aspects of EU law and policy.
This book deals with certain legal aspects of the European social dialogue as described in the Articles 138 and 139 EC Treaty. On the one hand, legal problems with regard to the conclusion and implementation of agreements between the European social partners' organisations are discussed. On the other hand, the relation between the European social partners' organisations and the EC institutions is scrutinised. The author also gives some ideas for the content of a (possible) future European collective labour legislation. Part I is an introduction in which certain European social partners' organisations are discussed and the development of the European social dialogue is described. Part II deals with the consultation of the European social partners' organisations, which is done by the European Commission. It also discusses the legal aspects of the conclusion of agreements between the social partners and the enforcement of the rights and obligations flowing from these agreements. In Part III, the conversion of these agreements into Community legislation is discussed. Furthermore, the possibilities for the European social partners' organisations to submit a legal claim against the European Commission or Council of Ministers are scrutinised. Finally, in Part IV, some conclusions and recommendations are made. This book also contains an annex. In this annex, an overview is given of all Community legislation, in which the European social partners' organisations were involved, either because they have been consulted with regard to that legislation, or because the legislation is based on an agreement concluded between them.
At a time of seemingly unrelenting economic crisis, with social Europe appearing to be cruelly absent from the scene, the place and the role of the social partners needs to be urgently addressed at both the national and the European levels. While national professional relations have been built up over more than a century in individual ways in each one of our member countries on the basis of the given historical context, through different struggles and in different ways, European social dialogue first saw the light of day in a voluntary manner a mere thirty years ago and it aspired to play an active role in the construction of Europe. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the "Val Duchesse" meetings, the Jacques Delors Institute publishes this policy paper by Jean Lapeyre, in which he traces the birth (part 1), evolution (part 2) and future prospects (part 3) of the European Social Dialogue. The first six years of European social dialogue made it possible to lay the groundwork for a bargaining area and for the social partners to play a role in the governance of the EU. The following fourteen years witnessed the conclusion of the first European interprofessional and sectoral agreements and the diversification of social dialogue at the level of businesses operating in the European area. The past ten years have proven more difficult and the European Social Dialogue now seems to be treading water, suffering from an EU enlargement that has yet to be fully digested, a crisis that seems to be never-ending, a weakening of collective bargaining and a European Commission weaker and more reluctant to adopt any kind of social initiative, bowing to pressure from the member states. Is this a cause for despair, or on the contrary, should we act to impart a fresh boost to social dialogue and to the quality of its achievements? There are paths allowing us to do so, and while they primarily concern the social partners, they also call the European Commission into play. They are discussed in the final part of the Policy paper and they include consolidating the achievements of social dialogue; structuring social dialogue on a stronger and more independent basis; establishing a "euro area" for social dialogue; coordinating the European and global areas; and developing the complementary character of social dialogue and civil dialogue.
The sixteenth edition of Social policy in the European Union: state of play has a triple ambition. First, it provides easily accessible information to a wide audience about recent developments in both EU and domestic social policymaking. Second, the volume provides a more analytical reading, embedding the key developments of the year 2014 in the most recent academic discourses. Third, the forward-looking perspective of the book aims to provide stakeholders and policymakers with specific tools that allow them to discern new opportunities to influence policymaking. In this 2015 edition of Social policy in the European Union: state of play, the authors tackle the topics of the state of EU politics after the parliamentary elections, the socialisation of the European Semester, methods of political protest, the Juncker investment plan, the EU’s contradictory education investment, the EU’s contested influence on national healthcare reforms, and the neoliberal Trojan Horse of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Describes the social dialogue, the role of social partners, its background, development, operation and achievements, and the challenges it faces today, and focuses mainly on bipartite dialogue between the social partners. Looks at how social dialogue has evolved at the level of individual Member States in response to the economic crisis.
