The impact of the information and consultation directive on industrial relations - Malta

Open Access

Abstract

The information and consultation Directive was transposed into Maltese law in January 2006. Under the implementing legislation, information and consultation rights are exercised by recognised trade unions or, where these are not present, by specially elected or appointed employee representatives. The main social partners reacted positively to the adoption and implementation of the Directive. From anecdotal evidence it seems that the Directive's implementation has so far not resulted in major changes. ; peer-reviewed
