Abstract: The EU framework agreements on telework and work-related stress are non-legally binding European social partner framework agreements that were to be implemented in Member States in accordance with national ‘procedures and practices’ for social dialogue. In a study of the implementation of the agreements in Denmark and the UK, this article finds that the national ‘procedures and practices’ implementation clause was fragile and subject to misinterpretation by national actors, and that the implementation of the agreements added little in terms of substantive effect to policy contexts in Denmark and the UK.
