Towards a European Labour Identity : The Case of the European Works Council

Comparative in perspective and based on empirical research, this book brings a collection of contributions and insights on how employee representative from different European countries perform their jobs as members of the European Works Councils.

Exploring attempts to develop some sense of a common European labour identity, the authors examine not only the workings of the EWCs, utilising individual case studies, but also analyze and asses the link with the broader discussions on European identity as well as European trade union co-ordination and solidarity.
