Works Constitution Act

The Works Constitution Act is a German law that governs the relationship between employers and employees within companies. It establishes frameworks for employee participation in workplace decisions through elected works councils, ensuring workers have a voice on issues like working conditions, safety, and company policies. The law sets procedures for elections, rights, and cooperation between management and employee representatives, promoting mutual understanding and cooperation. Its goal is to balance corporate interests with employees’ rights, fostering fair and effective communication in the workplace while respecting both parties' roles and responsibilities.
