Abstract

The ongoing decline of collective bargaining coverage, the spread of works councils and union density have left an increasing representation gap in the German industrial relations system. Against this background, the article raises the question of whether chambers of labour, as they exist as public-law institutions with compulsory membership in Austria and Luxembourg as well as in the German federal states of Bremen and Saarland, can contribute to closing this representation gap. Such a perspective is supported by the extensive advisory services offered by these chambers as well as the considerable additional resources for political representation of interests, which could allow the trade unions to focus more strongly on their core business.
