EFES NEWSLETTER - OCTOBRE 2013
European
Trade Union Institute
A dedicated Internet site worker-participation.eu
was set up as "the gateway to information on worker
participation issues in Europe", a remarkable work
by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI). It is about
employee participation which includes the following pieces:
Trade unions, collective bargaining, workplace representation,
board-level representation, European-level representation,
representation in the area of health and safety, and finally
employee financial participation. In the European unions'
vision, employee share ownership belongs to employee financial
participation, which has two main branches: Profit-sharing
and employee share ownership. Profit-sharing is considered
as "the simplest form of financial participation. This
can be understood as a collective regulation that, in addition
to the stipulated wage, provides a variable income dependent
on enterprise profits" – Variable pay, in fact. Finally,
employee share ownership appears in the European unions'
vision as the last piece of this participative building.
