Collective interest representation of the European workforce in European Works Councils
本文通过案例研究评估欧洲工作委员会的代表性，分析其外部合法性来源、内部成员合法性、与地方员工代表结构的互构关系，以及在与工会和欧洲化工业关系中的角色。
In this article, I draw on case study evidence to assess different aspects of the representativeness of European Works Councils. First, I consider how representativeness is framed by external sources of legitimation, such as the legal framework and the founding agreements. Second, I examine the internal legitimacy that can be derived from their membership. Third, I explore the reciprocal construction of legitimacy through linkages with local employee representation structures. Finally, I discuss their role in relation to trade unions and the further Europeanization of industrial relations.
