Stosunki przemysłowe w krajach Europy środkowo-wschodniej. Perspektywa porównawcza
Industrial relations in the central and eastern Europe. Compared perspective

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to compare the components of industrial relations in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) as well as to determine the level of their convergence in relation to the EU average. The analysis was conducted based on statistic data from the Eurostat, OECD, ILO, AMECO and ICTWSS databases. The strength of “employee voice” in these countries was assessed using the Employee Participation Index (IPP) which include trade union participation, worker representation in the form of works councils and board-level participation. The results of the analyzes show that despite the similarity of industrial relations in the group of CEE countries, the diversity between particular countries is still significant. It turned out that the highest values of IPP have Slovenia and Croatia, while in Bulgaria the strength of the “employee voice” is the lowest.
