Working Paper 23: "Collective bargaining and balanced recovery: The case of Austria"

This paper is part of a series of national studies on collective bargaining and effective responses to the crisis under the Global Product on ‘Supporting collective bargaining and sound industrial relations’. The national studies seek to examine the impact of the crisis on industrial relations and collective bargaining institutions; identify the ways in which collective bargaining was used to mitigate the effects of the crisis and the outcomes as they relate to: employment wages, working time, and employment relations. They identify good practices in this regard and consider the implications for balanced and effective recovery.
