Transnational Company Agreements and EU Law

Abstract

This article analyses transnational company agreements (TCAs) as a new form of social dialogue in multinational companies and examines why a legal framework for TCAs has not yet been introduced at European level. It argues that a reopening of the discussion on the introduction of such a legal framework should be promoted in order to strengthen the social dialogue in multinational companies and raise social standards in Europe Transnational Company Agreements, Social Dialogue, Multinational Companies, Legal Basis, Austrian Collective Bargaining System
