Training in works constitution law - important know-how for specialists
The Works Constitution Act provides the basis for fair cooperation between employees and employers. Among other things, it regulates the co-determination rights of employees and extends to questions of dismissal or recruitment. It is therefore all the more important that those responsible for personnel issues are familiar with the legal principles of works constitution law. This gives them an insight into possible pitfalls and enables them to help solve problems on their own initiative. For companies, this internal know-how means cost savings compared to costly external legal advice. In addition, further training in works constitution law strengthens fair cooperation between the works council and the employer.
