Recasting Worker Involvement? Recent Trends in Information, Consultation and Co-determination of Worker Representatives in a Europeanized Arena

In ‘Recasting Worker Involvement’ a group of authors especially Germany (Oldenburg) and Netherlands (Groningen) analyses recent trends in worker involvement and the actual condition of Rhinelander capitalism. In times of economic and financial crisis, the role of worker representative becomes a prominent topic. Worker involvement is related to consultant, information and co-determination rights of workers’ representatives. The word recast has two meanings in this respect. In the first place it refers to the revision process of directive 94/95 on European works council that is now concluded (directive 2009/38/EC) and the revision process of framework directive 2002/14/EC on information and consultation of Workers, that has recently started.
