正文(英文) | 18/11/2019 - Collective bargaining and worker’s voice are key labour rights but can also improve labour market performances, according to new OECD findings. Yet both these rights are under pressure from the general weakening of labour relations in many countries and the rise of new and often precarious forms of employment, according to a new OECD report.
“The world of work is in flux,” said Stefano Scarpetta, OECD Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, at the launch of the report in Berlin. “More than ever collective bargaining, when based on mutual trust between social partners and designed so as to strike a balance between inclusiveness and flexibility, can help companies and workers respond to demographic and technological change and adapt to the new world of work.” In that regard, having in place mechanisms of wage co-ordination, allowing social partners negotiating for different groups of workers to establish a common bargaining strategy and to follow common wage targets is key. This helps ensure that unions and employers take into account the business-cycle situation and the macroeconomic effects of wage agreements on competitiveness. Wage co-ordination is quite strong in countries such as Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and partly Germany and Japan. The report also highlights that the best outcomes in terms of employment, productivity and wages seem to be reached when sectoral agreements set broad conditions but leave detailed provisions to firm-level negotiations. This is the case in countries such as Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Looking ahead, making the most of collective bargaining in the future world of work will require some governmental intervention, notably to provide access to collective bargaining rights beyond standard employment. Enforcing the correct classification of workers and fighting the misclassification of workers as self-employed when they are actually in a situation comparable to that of employees is an essential first step. But even with proper classification, a potentially growing number of workers will be in the grey zone between dependent employment and self-employment, and labour and competition regulations also need to be adapted to ensure that these workers have access to collective bargaining rights. The report is available at http://www.oecd.orghttp://www.oecd.org/employment/negotiating-our-way-up-1fd2da34-en.htm. For further information journalists are invited to contact the OECD Media Office (+33 1 45 24 97 00). Working with over 100 countries, the OECD is a global policy forum that promotes policies to improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. | ||
