Public Service Employment Relations In Europe

Public service employment relations in Europe are undergoing a restructuring, as fiscal crises and increasing macro-economic integration within the European Union have had an impact on the scope and organization of public services. Changes in the patterns and status of public service employment, the shift from centralized administration to new models of devolved management, changes in the organization and policies of public service trade unions, reforms in the structure, process and outcome of collective bargaining, and patterns of conflict and co-operation between unions, managers and the state are all discussed in detail in this book.

Provides an analysis of the restructuring of public service employment relations in six European countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark and the UK. Each of the chapters on national systems is written by leading experts in the field and is organized around a set of themes and policy issues. These include: the impact of fiscal crises, and increasing macro-economic integration within the European Union, on the scope and organization of public services; changes in the patterns and status of public service employment; the shift from centralized administration to new models of devolved management; changes in the organization and policies of public service trade unions; reforms in the structure, process and outcome of collective bargaining; patterns of conflict and co-operation between unions, managers and the state.
