Short Circuits in Multinational Companies: The Extension of European Works Councils to Poland

Guglielmo Meardi

University of Warwick, UK, G.G.Meardi{at}warwick.ac.uk

The extension of European Works Councils to central and eastern Europe is a rare attempt to create transnational employee representation covering both low- and high-wage areas. Research carried out in Poland in 2001 provides a quantitative estimate of such enlargement and a qualitative assessment of its effects. The evidence undermines fears of ‘social dumping’ and reveals indirect effects definable as ‘short circuits’.
