Abstract:
The agriculture sector, which employs around 5% of the EU workforce (and a considerably higher proportion in the new Member States and candidate countries), is currently going through major structural changes, not least because of reform of the Common Agricultural Policy and the Union's recent eastward extension. This study examines industrial relations in agriculture in the EU, plus Bulgaria, Norway and Romania, looking at issues such as: employment and wages; sector-specific laws and regulations; the social partners; collective bargaining; other forms of social dialogue and consultation; and conflicts and disputes. It finds that industrial relations in the sector are distinctive, not least because of the high-level of self-employment and generally low proportion of employees.
