Prof Michael Doherty spoke at a Uni Europa Workshop in October on the transposition of the Adequate Minimum Wage Directive in Ireland, Malta, Croatia, Cyprus and Czechia. Prof Doherty is contributing further to recent work by Uni Europa on how Member States should develop National Action Plans (NAPs) to transpose the Directive fully.
Prof Doherty’s piece; ‘Make me good…just not yet? The (potential) impact of the Adequate Minimum Wage Directive’ was published in 2024 in the Italian Labour Law E-Journal. The piece focuses on the implications of the Directive for collective bargaining coverage in the EU, and takes a broadly optimistic view of what the impact of the Directive might be by using the example of Ireland as a case study. The paper looks at the impact the Directive (pre-transposition) has already had in terms of social dialogue and collective bargaining, before turning to consider some of the transposition challenges. In the concluding section, the paper reflects on some lessons that might be of wider application across the Member States.
Prof Doherty had previously presented papers on the topic at conferences in Italy and Ireland.
