Irregular Forms of Employee Interest Representation in SMEs: A German-French Comparison

Ingrid Artus

Chapter 15 in Change in SMEs, 2008, pp 258-273 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The idea of ‘irregular forms of employee interest representation’ assumes that employee interest can also be represented using ‘regular’, general norms or rules. In the following discussion, these are equated with the existing legal norms. Thus, this chapter deals with enterprises in which the legally foreseen institutions of workplace interest-representation are partly or completely missing: in Germany, these workplaces have no works councils. In France, they have only a partial set of the legal institutions of workplace representation. Such workplaces are found particularly often among small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
