Aims

- A technical understanding of collective relations between employers and workers.
- The ability to understand and analyse these systems in a socio-economic and political context in Bel-gium and at international level.

Main themes

Learning about key notions and mechanisms; information and analysis of realities. The course is mainly focused on Belgium, but makes comparisons with certain situations in other countries. It also analyses the ways in which the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the European Union intervene in labour law.
The course deals with actors (trade unions and employers' associations), the institutional framework (concerta-tion bodies), negotiations and collective agreements (status, implementation and content), and collective dis-putes (preventive actions and institutions, and the status, forms, procedure and conduct of disputes)

This course forms part of a study programme that takes place in the evenings and on Saturday mornings.
