The European union and national wage systems

Emer O’Hagan

Chapter 5 in Employee relations in the periphery of Europe, 2002, pp 134-169 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter enquires whether economies which have little or no tradition in corporatist-style wage agreements are able to modernise and reform their wage systems in line with the European model. In short, are economies which lack the institutional traditions of strong social partners able to integrate industrial interest groups successfully into decision-making over wage agreements? With an eye to the study’s primary theme, this analysis enquires into the EU’s role in changing wage systems and asks whether the EU acts as a significant actor in any changes which may be occurring.
