Journal Title: Revista de Stiinte Politice. Revue des Sciences Politiques - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 57

Abstract

Collective bargaining is one of the foundations of labor relations, which is common across most of the European Union's Member States, with the aim of establishing working and employment conditions, regulating relationships between employers and workers, and developing relationships between employers or their organizations and employees, represented by workers' organizations (trade unions) or otherwise provided for by national law. Depending on its scope, collective bargaining can take place at several levels: at the national level, at branch or sector level, at the level of profession, interprofessional negotiation, local or regional negotiation, bargaining at enterprise level. At the same levels, therefore, a collective labor conflict may also erupt. The present study illustrates several European models of representation of workers' interests in the conduct of collective bargaining and in solving collective labor conflicts.
