Explanation
The works council (Betriebsrat), elected by the staff, represents employees and helps with disputes with the employer under the Works Constitution Act. Auditors, informal work groups, and management represent the company, not the workforce.
Tips
- Betriebsrat is elected by employees to speak up for them.
- Management and auditors work for or check the company, not the staff.
