Works councils have a dual role: on the one hand they represent the interests of the employees of a company vis-à-vis the employer, and on the other hand they also act as mediators between the workforce and the employer.
The tasks of the works council are manifold. They range from advisory rights and the gathering of information, to the negotiation of works agreements, to the defence of dismissals or the negotiation of reconciliation of interests and social plans.
But one must not forget: Works councils and employers are operating partners and have a joint responsibility for the company and its employees.
What is important to us
Works Councils
Therefore, when advising the works councils, we always attach great importance to a genuine cooperation based on trust and cooperation lived by both sides. This usually works out well. However, if this does not work out, we are always able to persuade the employer to cooperate reasonably, even if this sometimes only happens in the labour court or in the conciliation board.
The works council is particularly called upon when the employer is planning large-scale redundancies. At the latest when this threatens your employer, you should consider forming a works council if there is no works council in your company yet.
Lawyer Axel Pöppel has been advising and training works councils for 15 years and is an experienced expert in works constitution law. Depending on your needs, he can be the friendly negotiator in the round with the employer, but he is also the assertive trial lawyer in court.
