Collective Bargaining in Western Europe in 1989 and prospects for 1990

This is the Eleventh Annual Review of the collective Bargaining in Western Europe to be published by the Europeans Trade Union Institute. The systematic Comparative study of the most important collective Bargaining developments covers twenty countries. The reports give some insights into various situations and developments prevailing in the individual countries, as well as providing general descriptions and overall trends. The report consists of four Chapters. The first chapter looks at the social and economic background against which collective bargaining took place in 1989. The second and third chapters describe the progress and outcomes of collective bargaining regarding the central issues of pay, purchasing power and working time. The fourth chapter outlines the most likely developments to be expected in 1990.
