An interesting change in all the countries is the growing proportion of those
who are uncertain on this question. A noticeable percentage (10-16 % of the
respondents) did not know how or at what level work safety and health questions
are usually agreed on. Does this reveal that, in general, these aspects are
not negotiated as often as before?
