Why don™t all the employers in employers™ associations recognize industry-wide collective bargaining agreements as the law requires?
(d) Why have the rates of coverage of works councils, like the union density, been declining in Germany? Compare this process to the decline in union density in one of the other countries we are discussing. Why are formal representation institutions declining in all four countries?
