Sindicatos y Marco Vasco de relaciones laborales

Abstract

The logical consequence, in democracy, of the existence of an autochthonous trade unionism in the Basque Country is the constitution of employers' organisations, which are also autonomous, and the elaboration of our own labour relations. Partly because of vocation and partly because of need, when the Constitution reserved the exclusive right to the State of legislating in labour matters, the Basque social parties have trusted collective bargaining when autonomously regulating employment. This article studies the action and attitudes of the social parties, the difficulties emanating from the State context and the achievements attained in spite of all.
