EWCDB - European Works Councils Database

Welcome to the renewed EWC database portal

Looking for up-to-date information on European Works Councils?

Welcome to the renewed EWC portal. The portal was re-launched in January 2016 and replaced the 'old' website. Following a website upgrade in 2022, users may need to reset their password or REGISTER AGAIN (free; old login and password may not work) to get full access to agreements, personal dashboard and all other features (see below).

Please note that upon registration, you may have to wait up to a few days before your account is activated.

The new website continues to provide all the information previously available plus many new features:

  • totally FREE access upon registration;
  • detailed search engines on EWC population and the contents of EWC agreements;
  • content analysis of 1500+ EWC agreements;
  • selected provisions (best practice) from EWC agreements;
  • tool to compare up to 3 EWC agreements;
  • live statistics with automatic charts online;
  • personal dashboard with the possibility to save searches, agreements, etc. (registered users);

If you have suggestions for improvement of the new website or want to report a problem please contact us.

If you are an EWC member please contribute to the database and send us your EWC agreement.

The European Trade Union Institute is conducting research on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the work of European Works Councils.

To this end the ETUI has developed a brief online survey which should take only 15 minutes to complete and is anonymous.  Please complete the survey and/or share it with people who may be interested.

The survey is in English. On the first page of the survey, you will find instructions to translate it into your language using your web browser.
