Regional networks
In 1998 it was decided to establish cross-border collective bargaining partnerships within the EMF. The first stage of setting up these partnerships is now almost completed.
Regional partnerships have been created all over Europe an the participation of observers and the exchange of data and information have become a daily routine. It should be noted in particular that these partnerships do not only focus on collective bargaining issues alone but increasingly also on concrete issues with regard to company-cross-border support. Reporting in the Collective Bargaining Committee should also devote more attention to these partnerships in the future.
Cross-border collective bargaining partnerships:
- Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxemburg, Germany-North Rhine-Westphalia
- Denmark, Sweden and Germany-Coast district
- France and Germany-Frankfurt
- Austria, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany-Bavaria
- Switzerland and Germany-Baden Würtenburg
