La négociation des conventions et accords collectifs d'entreprise. Essai sur une communauté de travail au service de l'intérêt de l'entreprise

Since 1982, company collective bargaining has actively been developed. Concluding collective bargaining agreements and collective agreements adapting higher ranking regulations has become increasingly important, as illustrated by an impending bill of law based on a report written in September 2015 by the President of the Labor Law section of the Conseil d'Etat, and delivered to the Prime Minister. It aims at reinvigorateing company collective bargaining and allowing for an increased implication of the interested parties. Collective bargaining has a noteworthy role since the authors of the regulations are in direct contact with the implementation of the law. The outcome of this technique cannot be materialized within an intangible framework. Several notions are designated under a single denomination. Different working groups can be identified within each notion. Some of these groups cannot be considered as a proper forum for negotiating. Negotiation is sometimes guided by the State that tends to "intrumentalize"social partners to further some State policies. It achieves that through an encouragement or even an obligation to treat certain issues. As a tool used for implementing State policies, collective bargaining has been the breeding ground for the identification of common interests of working communities, that come to light whitin a framework that needs to be identified. This identification enables the parties to start the process of a collective bargaining fitting the company's situation within which the business contract applies
