Globalisation, restructuring, and corporate strategies have consequences on employment and working conditions, especially in multinationals. Employees need to be properly informed and consulted at European level for these processes to be managed in a balanced and socially responsible way. European Works Councils (EWCs) fulfil this role, representing all European employees of a company in meetings with central management. In any company employing over 1 000 employees in at least two EU Member States, transnational information and consultation of employees through the creation of an EWC is a right underpinned by a European Directive, which has been reinforced.
