ELORZA GUERRERO, Fernando. Collective Bargaining and Extension of the Active Life of the Worker: Reflections from the Spanish and French Experience. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2017, vol.50, n.149, pp.673-705. ISSN 2448-4873.

The prolongation of the active life of older workers is one of the central social policies of the European Union in relation to the security in the future of the Welfare State in Europe. In this regard, this article is a reflection on the future role that the collective autonomy, and ultimately the workers’ representatives and employers, has to play in this area, on the basis of existing experience in Spain and France. Finding the existence of a long way to go, particularly with regard to the development of intergenerational dynamics of negotiation, the author pleads for the development of negotiating practices inclusive of the labour activity of young and older workers that takes into account the positive values that each group can contribute to the development of intergenerational dynamics of negotiation, the author pleads for the development of negotiating practices inclusive of the labour activity of young and older workers that takes into account the positive values that each group can contribute to the development of the enterprises. However, it is considered that the action of the collective autonomy in this area must be accompanied by a more specific legal treatment of the advanced age of the worker as a factor with impact on employment and the working relationship that support the action of that.
