Dachgewerkschaften

"Dachgewerkschaften" refers to umbrella organizations that unite various trade unions within a specific sector or across multiple sectors. In Germany, these bodies serve to represent the collective interests of workers at a broader level, facilitating coordination and collaboration among member unions. They advocate for labor rights, negotiate collective bargaining agreements, and address common challenges faced by their member unions. By functioning as a cohesive force, Dachgewerkschaften enhance the bargaining power of workers and ensure that a wider range of interests is represented in labor discussions and policy-making.
