European works councils Under EU law, large companies operating in two or more EU countries must set up European works councils Aim is to ‘improve the right to information and to consultation of employees’ Aim to restrict power of multinationals & to provide workers in different locations with the opportunity to discuss common concerns

Do trade unions benefit employers? Valuable communication link between management & the workforce Management can avoid time-consuming bargaining & negotiation with individual workers Strong union may encourage management to take workers’ needs seriously  improved morale  increased productivity, etc Ease situations such as relocation, downsizing,etc
