Repräsentativer Charakter
Repräsentativität ist der Begriff, den die Europäische Kommission bei der Bestimmung der legitimen Teilnehmer am sozialen Dialog gemäß den Artikeln 154 und 155 des Vertrags über die Arbeitsweise der Europäischen Union (AEUV) verwendet. Um in Frage zu kommen, müssen Organisationen sich auf bestimmte Sektoren oder Kategorien beziehen und auf europäischer Ebene organisiert sein, über anerkannte Mitgliedsorganisationen verfügen, die integraler Bestandteil der Sozialpartnerschaftsstruktur eines Mitgliedstaats sind und in der Lage sind, Vereinbarungen auszuhandeln, und über angemessene Strukturen verfügen, um eine wirksame Beteiligung an Konsultationsprozessen zu gewährleisten.

Industrial relations landscape in Europe
This report analyses and compares the industrial relations landscape in several sectors and activities that form a public service cluster across the 27 EU Member States and the UK – altogether employing over 57 million workers and representing 25% of the total workforce in the economy. It is based on Eurofound’s representativeness studies on the central government administration (CGA), education, human health, local and regional government (LRG), and social services sectors. The landscape includes over 500 national trade unions and around 400 employer organisations across the public services sectors, with the highest numbers of trade unions and employer organisations found in the human health sector. The aim of the study is to contribute to a better understanding of the overall industrial relations landscape of employer and union organisations in a number of sectors, while helping social partners in these sectors to further strengthen their social dialogue and build capacity.
