European Labor Practices: Small & Medium-Sized Firms
European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO) OnlineCOMPARATIVE STUDY
Employment relations in SMEs [February 2006] (online 12 April 2006)http://www.eiro.eurofound.eu.int/2006/02/study/index.html
This comparative study examines employment relations in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in 13 of the 'old' 15 EU Member States (the exceptions being Luxembourg and Portugal), three new Member States (Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia) and Norway. It looks at: the economic role of SMEs (including employment trends); pay and employment conditions (including working hours, training and HRM practices); interest representation, collective bargaining and social dialogue; and regulation and public policy.
The comparative study was compiled on the basis of individual national reports submitted by EIRO's national centres. The text of each of these national reports is available [at the first URL above]. The reports have not been edited or approved by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.

Made in the USA Foundation Launches American Toy Website
The Made in the USA Foundation has partnered with BondRewards to establish a website for consumers to buy American-made toys for Christmas. The new site is www.onlyustoys.com. It can also be accessed at www.bondrewards.com.
With more than 20 million Chinese toys taken off the shelves for safety and health problems, the Foundation believes that now is the time to promote good old American quality-made toys. The Foundation, a non-profit organization, was formed in 1989 to promote U.S.-made products in the United States and overseas.
The Foundation has partnered with BondRewards to promote the sales of Toys Made in the USA because BondRewards is America’s Reward Program. Members of BondRewards receive US Savings Bonds as their reward for shopping online. Joel D. Joseph, Chairman of the Made in the USA Foundation said, “The synergies of our missions, to help Americans save and America prosper, made our partnership an easy decision.”
Joseph said, “The website now offers more than 2,000 high-quality, safe, American-made toys. Unfortunately, most of these toys are not available at retail stores. We will add thousands of American-made toys to the site during the next 30 days.”
The Foundation is providing a certification that all of the toys on the website are actually Made in the USA. The Foundation is conducting inspections of factories so that consumers can have a high level of confidence that the toys sold on the site are genuinely made in America.
“We are thrilled by our partnership with Made In the USA Foundation where American consumers are assured that the products they purchase are certified by the Made in the USA Foundation and also receive U.S. Savings Bonds for their spending.” Chaz Berman Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The Made in the USA Foundation was formed in 1989. It is dedicated to promoting American-made products in the United States and overseas. The Foundation successfully pushed Congress to pass the American Automobile Labeling Act and the Country of Origin Labeling Act, that requires country of origin labeling of food products.
UCB Network, Inc, headquartered in San Francisco, California, is an innovative media and direct marketing company. UCB Network’s flagship service BondRewards® is an online rewards program for American consumers. BondRewards is an unique reward site that offers you points that are redeemed for real U.S. Savings Bonds when consumers shop at affiliated stores. Every time a shopper reaches 50 BondRewards, he or she can redeem them for a $50 Series EE U.S. Savings Bond. This is a great deal that helps the United States in two ways: promoting the sale of U.S.-made products and encouraging savings.
A percentage of every purchase of Toys Made in the USA goes as a donation to the Made in the USA Foundation to continue its work of providing valuable information to consumers and Congress.
