A recent EIRO review describes the developments in industrial relations and working conditions in 2011 in the EU Member States and Norway, at both national and EU level, with a focus on the economic situation and responses to it. The third chapter of this annual review illustrates developments in industrial relations, in particular collective bargaining levels (at cross-sectoral, sectoral and company levels), changes in the organisation and role of social partners, working time, pay developments, industrial action and company restructuring and other significant developments in the countries covered by the Dublin based organisation.
