Abstract

Adjusting the Danish IR-system after Laval: Re-calibration rather than erosion
Following some significant rulings that later became known as the Laval-quartet from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) many analyses have been concerned with the future implications for the highly regulated Nordic labour market (for detailed descriptions of the Laval case and the ’Laval-quartet’ see Ahlberg et al., 2006; Bücker and Warneck, 2010). The Laval ruling in particular, but also the Viking, Rüffert and Luxembourg rulings have made scholars question the durability of the Nordic industrial relations model and scholars have even pointed to an erosion of the model (see e.g. Woolfson et al., 2013; Sippola, 2012; Thornqvist, 2011; Woolfson et al., 2010). But much of the sceptic analyses refers to the Swedish case, where the situation seems more uncertain. However, this article shows that the Danish industrial relations system has been re-calibrated, rather than eroded, to absorb the new conditions following the Laval-quartet. This re-calibration has happened through judicial and political adjustments, much of which has had an explicit neo-corporatist nature, where the position of the labour market organisations might even have been reinforced following the Laval-quartet.
