A British Dilemma: Disclosure of Information for Collective Bargaining and Joint Consultation
Posted: 10 Feb 2003
Abstract
Information is a basic resource in enterprise decision-making and thereby affects the working lives of those employed in the firm. It is essential for collective bargaining, joint consultation, and other mechanisms which regulate employment. In this article, U.K. law on information disclosure by employers to employees and their representatives is examined as an important topic in its own right. It is also used to explore the tensions which have occurred when the traditional British approach based on collective bargaining has been compelled to come to terms with a continental European tradition, drawn more from Germany and France and based on more disclosure for joint consultation.
