Collective bargaining and self-employed workers

Policy Brief, 2021.11. European Trade Union Institute, Brussels, (July 2021)

Abstract

The European Commission (hereafter Commission) has recently embarked into a process seeking to redefine the scope of competition law in order to reduce the chilling effect that certain judgments by the Court of Justice, and their often misguided application by national competition authorities, have had on collective bargaining. To date, the Commission has opened a series of consultations in the form of an inception impact assessment and of a public consultation to obtain feedback on different policy proposals ostensibly aimed at enabling 'an improvement of working conditions through collective bargaining agreements – not only for employees, but also, under some circumstances, for the solo self-employed' ('Collective bargaining agreements for self-employed – scope of application EU competition rules', Ref. Ares(2021)102652 - 06/01/2021).
