A New Mode of European Regulation? The Implementation of the Autonomous Framework Agreement on Telework in Five Countries

This article examines the implementation of the first autonomous framework agreement signed by European social partners in a number of member states. Although the telework agreement states that it is to be implemented in accordance with national procedures and practices specific to management and labour, practice is often different. The approach adopted reflects the specific policy character of the telework agreement and the ongoing power struggle between unions, employers and the state.

Key Words: alternative regulation methods • autonomous agreements • Denmark • Sweden • Germany • Hungary and the UK • implementation • social dialogue
