Social Dialogue & Management of Change in the Electricity Sector (2) Some of the lessons learnt so far: Importance of promoting mutual understanding in anticipation of changes in the electricity sector European social dialogue as the occasion to share best practices and identify areas of common interest

EURELECTRIC Work Programme 2011 in Social Affairs In the SSD: –Follow-up past projects – Joint Programme of actions based on our previous joint recommendations on Just Transition Policies to be implemented by Social Partners’ respective affiliates at national and company levels. –Participate actively to consultations of social partners on EC impact assessments (Energy Roadmap 2050) – Early involvement is key ! –Launch a new joint project financed by DG EMPL. Internally: –Participate in the CEEP project “Public Services Employers Forum” –Follow developments at EU level having social implications for the electricity sector and address the social dimension of energy and organise appropriate follow-up.

EURELECTRIC views on the “new” European Work Council Directive

EURELECTRIC views on the “new” EWC directive (1/2) EURELECTRIC believes that information and consultation of employees in companies is a core subject for the social dialogue at all levels of business. EURELECTRIC thus favored the recast of the EWC directive and was actively involved: TF created to follow issue & elaborate lobbying strategy at that time. BUT flexibility, subsidiarity are key principles!

EURELECTRIC views on the “new” EWC directive (2/2) Joint advice agreed by Social Partners in on August 29th 2008 were very much in line with EURELECTRIC views: –Harmonise and reinforce the definition of “Information”and “Consultation” (art 2 (f) et (g)); –Recognition of the role of European social partners and possibility to play a role in the special negotiating body (art 5.4.3); –Clarification of the competences of the EWC members when collectively representing the interests of employees in order to avoid any ambiguity (art 10.1) and on training of members (art 10.4); –Against the requirement to start the processes of information and consultation in parallel in EWC’s and national bodies (art 12.3): –Creation of a window of opportunity for a two-year period for companies to negotiate voluntary agreement (art 13).
