Summary

The creation of European Works Councils is arguably the most important measure taken in global industrial relations in recent years. European Works Councils and Industrial Relations examines the communication and information-sharing between workers' representatives and top management in multinational firms to assess whether EWCs are achieving their objectives, and whether institution-building has been a second result of the initiative.
