Formation and basic rights of European works councils under Austrian law

circle light

The European Works Council Directive imposed obligations on EU member states to establish a European works council or a procedure to inform and consult employees. Austria implemented these obligations by way of an amendment to the Labour Relations Act. The act provides for specific rules on the composition of a European works council, including rules on the number of members and the allocation of seats.
