After Siemens and Volkswagen, Opel is now faced with an alleged bribery scandal affecting its central works council. On October 18th, Opel's management and central WC acknowledged that they stroke a deal providing for the payment of monthly lump sums amounting to EUR300-1,300 to the employee representatives, as overtime retribution. However, they claim this is "100% legal," which many lawyers are denying, reminding that WCs' work is supposed to be purely voluntary. In Germany, this revived controversy over the remuneration of employee representatives. (Ref. 110633)
