European Work Councils and Legislative Provisions for Dispute Procedures: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Werner Altmeyer:
That is a considerable issue. There are no reliable figures on the number of companies. One cannot say how many people are involved. There are EWCs representing approximately 2,000 to 4,000 workers and others representing 20,000 workers. Councils in large corporations such as Airbus or big automotive companies represent 100,000. It is somewhere in between all those figures.
