Chapter Chapter 5 in The Collective Dimensions of Employment Relations, 2021, pp 63-77 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The essay aims at demonstrating the existence of several collective dimensions within the employment relationship to be tracked back both to the trade unions’ and to the works councils’ model. The ‘agentification’ that characterizes both model is likely to jeopardize the enhancement of the interrelational element the most advanced organizational theory looks at as main feature of the collective dimension of the employment relationship. The essay tries to make some proposal on which, from a juridical point of view one can reconcile the individual nature of the contractual relationship with the ‘processual regulation’ option inspired by the collective self-coordination of performances within the work community.
