En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the tension between collective powers and individual rights within the German industrial governance framework, particularly focusing on the role of works councils. It highlights the imbalance in legal protections afforded to employees against breaches of duty by these councils, despite the robust legal safeguards provided by the state. The discussion raises critical questions about the autonomy of collective entities and their accountability to both employees and employers, emphasizing the growing recognition of this issue among German labor law scholars over the past decade.
