2 - Levels of qualification in collective bargaining - their application to some public enterprises of the transport and communications sector

Authors: Henrique Marques Coelho / Lino Moura Soares / Maria Isabel Bento Feliz
750$00

ABSTRACT: This study is an approach to the application to collective bargaining of the levels of qualification scale settled by ACT no. 121/78. They were found out some adjustment differences concerning the same occupation: either differences between the adjustments made by the enterprises and those made by the technical services, either among the adjustments made between enterprises. At last, they are suggested some hypothetical causes for those differences, which endanger, anyway, the accuracy of statistical findings and that should therefore be analysed and corrected.
