Collective bargaining law

In modern business, collective industrial relations play a crucial role.

In modern business, collective industrial relations play a crucial role. Whether it concerns a reorganization, the implementation of a social plan or negotiations with unions – managing collective labor relations requires strategic insight and experience. The lawyers of Guldemond Advocaten assist companies in all aspects of collective labor law.

 

Reorganizations and restructurings

An important trend we are seeing is the increasing need for flexibility in international labour relations. We advise on modern working methods such as remote working and hybrid constructions, ensuring that these fit within the various national legal systems.

We guide companies through the entire reorganisation process: from developing the initial plans to the final implementation. Our experience shows that a well-thought-out strategy, involving all stakeholders at the right time, is crucial to the success of a reorganisation.

 

Social plans and transition arrangements

We guide companies through the entire reorganisation process: from developing the initial plans to the final implementation. Our experience shows that a well-thought-out strategy, involving all stakeholders at the right time, is crucial to the success of a reorganisation.

Drawing up and negotiating a social plan is a delicate process. We help companies find the right balance between commercial necessity and social responsibility. Thanks to our experience with various sectors and companies, we can advise you on what is customary and feasible.

 

Trade union relations

A constructive relationship with trade unions is valuable for any company. We advise on the development and maintenance of these relationships, taking into account both the formal aspects and the informal relationships. Whether it is regular consultation or tense negotiations – we help you find the right tone.

 

Collective labor agreement law

The collective labour agreement law is becoming increasingly complex. Questions about the applicability, interpretation and compliance of collective labour agreements are common. We advise companies on:

  • The correct application of collective labor agreement provisions
  • Exemption options
  • Company collective labor agreements
  • Incorporation of collective labor agreement provisions
  • Aftereffects and transition

 

Collective actions

In the event of imminent collective action, swift and adequate action is required. We have extensive experience in supporting companies in the event of strikes and other forms of collective action. In doing so, we look for solutions that guarantee the continuity of the company and at the same time do justice to the interests of employees.

 

Cross-border aspects

For international companies, collective labor law brings additional challenges. We have specific expertise in:

  • International reorganisations
  • European Works Councils
  • Cross-border social plans
  • International trade union relations
