ETUC and BusinessEurope developed a report that is the result of a joint project on Transnational Company Agreements (TCA). The debate on TCAs is already going on for some years now and ETUC and BusinessEurope wanted to build on current practices in order to identify solutions that may be of support to bargaining agents. Their final report identifies and outlines key findings from interviews that were conducted with central management and union representatives of eight companies that have already concluded TCAs. They conclude that while differences in social dialogue and collective bargaining practices across Europe are often seen as obstacles, unions and companies can overcome such barriers by applying a pragmatic and inclusive approach.
