Country overview



There is no existing board-level representation for employees in companies in Estonia and the issue of employee involvement in European companies has not been of great concern. Employer and trade union interest has instead been focussed on legislation implementing the EU directive on a framework for information and consultation rights at national level (2002/14/EC). The legislation transposing the directive on employee involvement in European companies was discussed with both employers and unions, and was passed with their support, but little debate.
