Then the role of works councils in enforcing labour law is highlighted. The role of trade unions is also examined in more detail, showing in particular that some would like to see their importance in this area strengthened. Finally, the role of public authorities is examined.
Enforcement of Labour Law in Germany: The Role of the Courts, the Works Councils, Trade Unions and State Authorities. General Questions, Constitutional Directions, Specific Regulations, Legal Policy Debate
