Una de las líneas de actuación más importantes del Derecho social de la Unión Europea es la construcción de formas comunes de actuación en lo que respecta a la representación de los trabajadores en la empresa. La Directiva 2002/14/CE supuso un paso decisivo en esta materia, al ser un texto de carácter global que abordaba de forma central esta cuestión,y no de forma fraccionada como hasta entonces. Su impacto, eso sí, ha sido muy diverso. El presente estudio pretende compara la repercusión sobre el Derecho francés (ausente), británico (determinante) e italiano (limitada). ; One of the most important working lines of EU Social Law is the building of commonways of dealing with the workers’ representation within the undertaking.
