Works Council Directive (EU)

The Works Council Directive is a European Union law that sets rules for establishing works councils in companies with a certain number of employees. Works councils are groups of employee representatives who discuss workplace issues with management, such as working conditions, pay, and company policies. The directive aims to enhance employee participation in decision-making processes and improve communication between workers and employers. It applies across EU member states, ensuring that employees have a voice in their workplace, promoting social dialogue and cooperation for better labor relations.
