摘要

工人委员会为工人参与决策提供了重要机制。虽然文献广泛探讨了它们对工人和企业结果的影响,但劳资委员会代表与雇主之间的谈判过程在很大程度上仍未得到探讨。本文通过调查德国对工作顾问的工资歧视,有助于填补这一空白。利用小组数据的固定效应模型显示,议员获得的工资溢价与集体谈判的部门覆盖率呈正相关。在制造业,讨价还价的传统根深蒂固,雇主积极歧视顾问。相比之下,在议价文化薄弱的服务业,雇主会惩罚劳资顾问。在这两个部门中,党派和工会的工作顾问受到的影响最大。最可能解释这些结果的假设是,雇主在战略上歧视这些顾问,以绕过企业层面参与的传统限制。因此,本文质疑德国工业民主的质量。

The wage impact of being a works council representative in Germany: A case of strategic discrimination?

Works councils provide an essential mechanism for worker participation in decision-making. While the literature has extensively explored their impact on worker and establishment outcomes, the negotiation process between works council representatives and their employer has remained largely unexplored. This article contributes to filling this gap by investigating wage discrimination towards works councilors in Germany. Fixed effects models leveraging panel data show that councilors receive a wage premium that positively correlates with the sectoral coverage of collective bargaining. In the manufacturing sector, where the tradition of bargaining is heavily entrenched, employers positively discriminate councilors. In contrast, in the service sector, where the culture of bargaining is weak, employers penalize works councilors. In both sectors, partisan and unionized works councilors are the most affected. The most likely hypothesis to explain these results is that employers strategically discriminate these councilors in order to bypass the traditional constraints of establishment-level participation. This article therefore questions the quality of industrial democracy in Germany.
