Labour relations
Having good relations with employees and their representatives is as important as it has ever been.
Our employment lawyers can help you with all types of industrial relations matters: from general communications with your workforce on sensitive matters and negotiations with employee representative bodies on reorganizations or other issues to industrial action launched by said bodies.
Employee representation is no longer a local issue either. Trade unions are organising at a global level and are deliberately targeting multinational employers. We can assist you in designing a proper response to any global trade union strategy, including OECD complaints and the request for a global framework agreement.
Our team can also advise you on European works council (EWC) matters, including supporting on their set up and negotiating EWC agreements, as well as on employee representation issues within European companies (societas europaea).
