Abstract

This article continues the annual reporting on collective bargaining and company level representation of interests with data for 2019. First, the commitment of companies to collective bargaining agreements is presented by sector and company size. Thereby the still persisting differences between west and east Germany are taken into account. Since 1996, collective bargaining coverage in both parts of the country has shown a clear downward trend. Looking at co-determination at the plant level, we also find a distinct downward movement in works council coverage in the long term. However, in east Germany this trend seems to have recently reversed, bringing the two parts of the country closer together. Finally, the joint examination of both levels of interest representation points to extensive gaps in co-determination on the shop floor (betriebliche Vertretungslücken) and also completely blank spots where there is no collective re­presentation at all.
