Coordination des négociations salariales en UEM : un rôle majeur pour la BCE

Abstract

Cet article s'interroge sur l'applicabilité d'un système de négociations salariales coordonnées dans l'Union Economique et Monétaire (UEM). Nous évoquons, dans un premier temps, les gains en termes d'emploi, que pourrait générer une telle démarche. Nous montrons ensuite que si les résolutions issues de cette coordination ne sont pas assorties de mesures contraignantes interdissant toute déviation ultérieure, alors leur mise en pratique reste illusoire. La question qui se pose est donc de savoir comment amener les syndicats de l'union à tenir leurs engagements collectifs et garantir ainsi l'application effective de l'accord de coordination salariale. L'idée proposée dans cet article est de faire intervenir la Banque Centrale Européenne (BCE). Plus précisé- ment, nous supposons que la BCE "dédommage" l'effort de discipline salariale des syndicats au moyen d'un système de récompense monétaire.
