Abstract

Abstract: The present study analyses the reforms made in the legal regime governing collective negotiation by Law 3/2012 (preceded by RDL 3/2012) and RDL 20/2012, which have harmed and hindered some of the essential functions of collective negotiation avoiding vacuums of regulation, improving working conditions and limiting individualization and which have turned the balance of negotiation in favour of companies. This solution is far from a realistic one because the productive framework is dominated by micro enterprises and it gives greater power to the employer. The reforms have had particular effect on the collective agreement once its agreed period of application expired, bargaining structure (the pre-eminence of the companys agreement), procedures pertaining to non-compliance, suspension and modifications of the terms negotiated in the agreements, and the content of the agreements.
