ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to introduce the progress, key contents and characteristics of the changes in French legal system of collective bargaining and consider their meaning and implications. The main aspects of the change regarding collective negotiation are as follows. As a matter of principle, collective agreements entered into at the company-wide level will prevail over collective agreements entered into at the industry-wide level, except in limited areas specifically enumerated by law in which collective agreements entered into at industry-wide level imperatively prevails or may prohibit company-wide collective agreements from providing for different stipulations. Such a system could be assessed to have problems in terms of fragmentation of labor-related norms and the difficulty of balancing bargaining power within a firm.
