Excerpt from Health Programs in Collective Bargaining Records indicate that the first collective bargaining agreement to provide for non - occupational sickness and accident benefits was negotiated as early as 1926, but the new trend did not emerge clearly before World War II. During the war, the wage stabilization policies of the War Labor Board effectively restricted union bar gaining for simple across - the - board wage increases even when employers were ready to grant them. Most health insurance plans negotiated during the war were the result of efforts to discover benefits in lieu of wages which the War Labor Board would approve and which would have an obvious value for workers in dollars and cents and in improved morale. Paid vacations and paid holidays were the most popular of these wage-substitute demands. They were widely established by the end of the war in union-management contracts. Health insurance was never as common an item in negotiations. The Board never seriously considered disapproving these insurance arrangements, when agreed to by both parties, but it did not order their inclusion in contracts in disputed cases. Consequently, during the war the government made no official determination of the status of health insurance among collective bargaining demands. The question arose again under the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947. In the early fall of 1948 a us. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a National Labor Relations Board ruling requiring an employer to bargain on pension plans. The court held that the terms wages and other conditions of employment as used in the collective bargaining provisions of the Act clearly include pension and retirement funds. In April, 1949, the us. Supreme Court declined to review the above-mentioned decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals. The nlrb, in another case, ruled that group health insurance plans also fall within the meaning of these terms.

It cannot be denied that in recent decades, for many if not most people, work has become unstable and insecure, with serious risk and few benefits for workers. As this reality spills over into political and social life, it is crucial to interrogate the transformations affecting employment relations, shape research agendas, and influence the policies of national and international institutions. This single volume brings together thirty-nine scholars (both academics and experienced industrial relations actors) in the fields of employment relations and labour law in a forthright discussion of new approaches, theories, and methods aimed at ameliorating the world of work. Focusing on why and how work is changing, how collective actors deal with it, and the future of work from different disciplinary angles and at an international level, the contributors describe and analyse such issues and topics as the following: new forms of social protection and representation; differences in the power relations of workers and political dynamics; balancing protection of workers’ dignity and promotion of productivity; intersection of information technology and workplace regulation; how the gig economy undermines legal protections; role of professional and trade associations; workplace conflict management; lay judges in labour courts; undeclared work in the informal sector of the labour market; work incapacity and disability; (in)coherence of the work-related case law of the European Court of Justice; and business restructurings. Derived from a major conference held in Leuven in September 2018, the book offers an in-depth understanding of the changing world of work, its main transformations, and the challenges posed to classical employment relations theories and methods as well as to labour law. With its wide range of insights, analysis, and reflection, this unique contribution to the study of industrial relations offers an authoritative reference guide to scholars, policymakers, trade unions and business associations, human resources professionals, and practitioners who need to deal with the future of work challenges.

No one denies that the institution of collective bargaining between workers and employers has been a powerful tool for social dialogue. Without our history of effective collective bargaining there would be no mutual understanding, no industrial peace, no constructive cooperation between social partners. Yet there is a feeling today that this history has drawn to a close; that our post-industrial world demands something different, something our tradition of collective bargaining and collective agreements cannot give us. What information and insight can we gather to verify or challenge this feeling? This was the first major question addressed by the distinguished delegates to the twenty-seventh World Congress of Labour and Social Security Law held at Montevideo, 2'5 September 2003. The aim of the conference was to discover current problems regarding the existing structures and functions of collective bargaining in industrialized countries today'problems readily identifiable in the context of economic globalization, falling union density, the increase in atypical and knowledge-based workers, and the 'tertiarization' or declining economic importance of manufacturing-based industry. This bulletin contains some of the most important papers devoted to this major theme of the conference. It presents twenty national reports, each written by a scholar well-versed in the law and practice of collective bargaining in the country covered. Two introductory reports deal with such general issues as the varying competences of representatives under different legal systems, labor union representation within the public sector, the development of collective bargaining in EC law, the levels and structures of collective bargaining practice, and the widening gap between the relevant legal norms and real situations. The national reports were drafted on the basis of a questionnaire, which appears as an annex. This allows the reader to easily compare the solutions set forth for consideration in the various countries under review. The Actors of Collective Bargaining will be of great value for all practitioners and academics in the field of industrial relations.
