Abstract

Collective rights describe the rights granted to a collectivity of workers in the course of their relationship with an employer/group of employers. Within the EU legal framework, collective rights are embedded in a variety of EU legal measures and cover (i) worker involvement in enterprise decision-making (information, consultation, participation); and (ii) trade union rights (freedom of association, collective bargaining and collective action).
