Flexicurity, Labour Market and Social Dialogue: Monday 2 to Friday 6 June 2014

Open to non-network PhD students (applications now closed)

This Network School will be focused on flexibility and security within labour markets in Europe. The regulation of flexibility (i.e. wage, working time, contractual and agency work) and security (employment protection legislation, training, developments programmes and career programmes) will be addressed from both a national and sub-national (collective bargaining and social dialogue at both sector and company levels) governance perspective).

Within this structure there will be joint lectures and seminars each morning with eminent academics in European employment relations and sociology, followed by group presentations each afternoon with fellow researchers in your theme.

Speakers on the roundtable will address the following central questions:

• What are the real prospects for labour markets and employment in Europe?
• How can European labour markets be socially sustainable?
• Is reconciliation between the security and flexibility of work key to Europe’s success?
• Is social dialogue a mechanism for seeking recovery in Europe?
• Have social partners enough willingness to engage in social dialogue and what can social dialogue do during periods of economic and social difficulties?

Supported by the Marie Curie ChangingEmployment ITN

This seminar aims to explore the changing dynamics of workplace relations in the context of declining collective regulation and shifts towards individualistic HRM, the role of trade unionism in supporting and resisting regulation, the quest for mutual gains, and the suitability of the proposition to (re)theorise employment relations and HRM practices to account for the impact of supranational level regulations, as well as the reconfiguration of ‘rules’ at the national level.
