14 Level linkages Intersectoral social dialogue Sectoral social dialogue EWCs IFAs_EFAs SEs national social dialogue Cross industry Sectoral Company

15 Votre présentation Level linkages at EU level growing interaction between: a) intersectoral and sectoral dialogue in both directions - telework sectoral > intersect. - violence & harassment intersect. > sectoral - towards soft law outcomes b) between the sectors - crystalline sillica (15 sect. EMP and 2 EIF) - best value codes (textiles, cleaning, private security, catering)

16 Level linkages at EU level Votre présentation c) sectoral and company level - EIF = important actors at both levels - similar topics in European sectoral dialogue and EFAs ~ social dialogue, health and safety - crystalline sillica > more multi-sectoral agreements? d) company > company - EWC agreements important mutual learning exercise > EFAs

17 Level linkages: EU > national level Votre présentation a) intersectoral and national level - soft versus hard law implementation - autonomy vs. heteronomy

18 Level linkages: EU > national level b) EU sectoral and national sectoral level - multi-actor and -level diversity - coordination with national members ~ heterogeneity of perimeters ~ heterogeneity of roles defining a common interest not only represents a difficulty between TU and EMP, but also involves much intra-organisational negotiation

19 Level linkages: EU > national level Votre présentation c) company level and (trans)national impacts

20 Inclusion of suppliers & subcontractors in the application of IFAs 14% 9% 31% resp. of entire supply chain no mention of suppliers/subcontr. inform suppliers resp. of suppliers 46%

21 Conclusions Votre présentation a) social dialogue at intersectoral and sectoral level cornerstone of the EU system of industrial relations established actors at intersectoral level moving actors at sectoral level solid legal framework (art. 138/139 EC) multi-level and multi-actor politity deliberative, mutual learning processes shift towards soft law outcomes growing synergies and level linkages at EU level certain linkage gaps between EU and national level

22 Conclusions Votre présentation b) transnational dialogue at company level stable actors on EMP side, variable on TU side (GUF, EIF, EWC, nat.tu, nat. WC) no legal framework at international or EU level limited impact on suppliers and subsidiaries limited impact beyond Europe IFAs/EFAs reflect traditions of European IR concentrated in social market economies with collective interest representation
