• Resumen

  • The progressive decline of the large Fordist enterprise has caused a parallel decline of the employment relationship and the model of social dialogue connected with it. Downsizing of stable employment, temporary agency work, imposed part-time work, self-employment, undeclared employment, etc. have thus become current methods of managing the workforce. In parallel, the development of enterprise networks is promoting exchanges between employees and in some cases helping to improve their qualifications and providing them with a better share of value added. These new forms of enterprise organisation � allied industries and networks � go beyond the traditional boundaries of social dialogue geared to the industry and the enterprise. They invite the social partners to think about new forms of social dialogue. The state also has a role to play by improving legislation and promoting exchanges of good practices.
