Co-determination is the practice of workers of an enterprise having the right to vote for representatives on the board of directors in a company. It also refers to staff having binding rights in work councils on issues in their workplace. Co-determination primarily exists: to reduce management-labour conflict by improving and systematizing communication channels; to increase bargaining power of workers at the expense of owners by means of legislation; and to correct market failures by means of public policy. In this webinar the speakers will provide insight in the co-determination differences and pitfalls in Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands and Poland.
