It's real a shame Management and the Union can't work together like in some countries. This us against them mentality killed Yellow.

Advantages of German Works Councils​

German works councils have many benefits for both employees and employers. These advantages include:

  • Protection of employee rights. German works councils oversee top-level decision-making and ensure all company decisions support employees’ rights.
  • Increased wages. German works councils promote higher wages for their fellow employees and increase the likelihood of better overall working conditions.
  • Increased productivity. Workers employed at a company with a works council feel like their opinions matter. As a result, employees are more productive and content with management.
  • A unified voice for negotiation. With a direct line of communication to management, German works councils ensure all voices are heard and have the right to negotiate any decisions affecting employees.
  • Improved relationships. German works councils create positive, coordinated relationships between management and employees, leading to strong unions, low strike rates, and fewer layoffs.
