The Luxembourg company created in 2011 after the subsidiarization of the stainless steel division of ArcelorMittal is about to set up a EWC. The negotiated agreement is tainted with the concern to clearly determine the scope of the European structure compared with national bodies and, at the same time, it transfers the competence of Aperam’s French committee to the EWC. (Ref. 130263)
Link with national structures. The draft agreement is extremely cautious when it comes to the material link between the different levels of employee representation structures. The message is repeated several times. “The competencies and prerogatives of the EWC and national representation structures are of a different nature and purpose. The expression of the interests represented is managed in a clear and consistent manner in each of the structures, depending on their respective competences and rules for intervention.”
