Less than 5% of the companies affected by the 1994 Works Councils Directive have meetings for employee representatives more than twice a year; 60% have not even set up works councils and, in the rare cases where they have been set up, it has been to the detriment of the representation of workers in national companies particularly in terms of time set aside for consultation and training. This is a good illustration of the refusal of employers to inform and consult workers’ representatives and their intention to decide alone on the fate of millions of employees.
The latest redundancy programmes drawn up by the management at AOM, Marks [amp] Spencer, Lu-Danone and even Moulinex have, once again, shown that the interests of managers and small investors are completely opposed to those of employees and the needs of the population. Today, the most important thing for employees faced with looming unemployment is the chance to block these redundancies, not just to have been told about them beforehand and by different means.
The resolution’s proposals relating to redundancies are merely symbolic and have no meaning for the thousands of employees that have already lost their jobs. We support all the provisions that facilitate better information and more rights for employee representatives and all the measures which provide more resources to bring about the mobilisation necessary to thwart managers’ plans."@en1
