Public utilities in Europe have undergone major changes in recent years, involving processes such as liberalisation, privatisation and a growing presence of multinational companies. Focusing on the electricity and fixed-network telephony sectors, this comparative study examines the effects of these changes on industrial relations. Covering 19 EU Member States plus Norway, it looks at developments in the status of employees, the representation of workers and employers, the structure of collective bargaining, and negotiations and conflicts over issues such as restructuring, outsourcing and worker participation. |
