    Shortening change negotiations and raising threshold

    The application threshold for the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings would be raised to 50 employees, and the minimum durations of change negotiations would be halved. Smaller enterprises with 20–49 employees would retain an obligation for lighter dialogue, and would only face change negotiations in large-scale workforce reductions.
