“…Dundon et al (2014) touch on this theme concluding the ambivalence of national union officials towards the ICE directive has aided the ability of employers to occupy and dominate this space. It is important nonetheless not to ascribe strategic intent solely to full time officials (FTOs).…”

“…We argue this empirical dualism is untenable, not least because the twin instruments are viewed by the European Commission as complementary components of the European social agenda -improvement of living and working conditions, development of human resources and dialogue with the social partners etc. We contend the need for a research strategy that treats 'mandated consultation' as an expansive phenomenon -an interlocking 'regulatory space' (Dundon et al 2014) -with potentially mutually reinforcing components. Drawing on institutional theory it is suggested researchers could usefully import the concept of 'institutional complementarity' as a theoretical lens to facilitate a deeper understanding of the ICE (and EWC) regulations.…”

This article critically examines the literature dealing with the British Information and Consultation of Employees (ICE) Regulations (2004). It is argued that notwithstanding significant academic interest, the implications of the legislation for employees, trade unions and managers remain under explored and inadequately theorised. Outlining the principal deficiencies it suggests scholars could derive much inspiration from the voluminous output relating to both the (sister) European Works Council (EWC) directive and the continental works council format. The absence of research dealing with the interconnectedness of the ICE and EWC Regulations is similarly highlighted. It is suggested that researchers might usefully import the concept of 'institutional complementarity' to extend knowledge of the synergies potentially derived from the operation of both pan-European (EWC) and national (ICE) fora in those organisations where such bodies co-exist.
