Abstract

Employer resistance to works councils is not a phenomenon which has been closely associated with German labour relations. However, as first results of a research project indicate, incidents of employers’ hostility towards works councils are more than just a marginal footnote. As the analysis of data provided by the WSI-Survey of paid union representatives (2012) shows, measures against the establishment of a works council are most common in small and medium-sized companies and in owner-managed firms. Among the measures taken by employers, the intimidation of works council candidates has turned out to be the most frequently used strategy.
