while you all get fat off layoffs.

When layoffs were necessary, black employees were the first to go.

Rather than resorting to extensive layoffs, firms had their employees work a partial week.

Large systems are privatized without social welfare programmes for labour laid off.

Moreover, many employers, seeking to share the pain of recession and slow down layoffs, are now asking workers to accept cuts in both hours and hourly wages.

Without implementation of collective branch contracts, the by laws defining workers' salary levels would not be possible to implement.

But, because these policies increase the cost of fuel and electricity, they imply layoffs elsewhere, across many different economic sectors.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Constitution, the law and collective contracts allow workers to organize strikes.

After the boom peaked in 1995, one million construction workers were laid off and could not find jobs elsewhere.

Germany s labor code bars such layoffs, but German employers also are presumably less inclined than US employers to shed workers, because they have invested more in their companies human capital.

Based on article 130 of the same law and with the aim of harmonizing economic and social policy, i.e., workers and employers' interests, and encouraging of conclusion and application of collective contracts, the Economic Social Council can be formed.

The Government continued to promote the demobilization of members of illegal armed groups.

But, instead of working together with its social partners, the government, heeding the troika s advice, dismantled the country s collective bargaining system, leaving workers unrepresented.

The system created by Generalissimo Francisco Franco following his victory offered workers job security and strong collective bargaining rights, which helped to maintain social stability in the absence of democracy.
