Slovenia: multinational companies and collective bargaining

Lužar, Barbara (author), Rojec, Matija (author)

Slovenia has well developed system of industrial relations, where most of labour related issues are already regulated by Employment Relationships Act. Collective bargaining coverage is approximately 96%. Sector collective agreements regulate sector specific working conditions, while company collective agreements should regulate employment relationships and working conditions in a better way. Multinational companies in Slovenia have no major influence on the outcomes of collective bargaining at sectoral level, while in company collective agreements they try to introduce more specific regulationof working conditions and employment relations that are not always in the benefit of employees.It is important to point out, that multinational companies in Slovenia, according to the definition on MNCs in the EU's directive on European Works Councils, are present within manufacturing only in the metalworking sector and within private services in the banking and retail commerce sector. There exist no foreign-owned or home-owned MNCs in the food processing sector.
