Works council: Inside: essential columns for democracy and justice!

Europa, Österreich - On April 7, 2025, the day of operational participation is celebrated. On this occasion, the SPÖ-EU MP and trade unionist Evelyn Regner recognizes the essential role of the works council: inside in Europe and its central importance for democracy. "The works council: inside is the backbone of employees: internal rights and have to find more attention in the current political discussion," says Regner.

Regner also calls for the revision of the guideline to European works councils to strengthen participation in cross -border company decisions. This is particularly important to inform employees: at the inside and to ensure their hearing rights. "A fair, safe and fair world of work is only possible with a strong works council: inside," adds Regner and is committed to the introduction of effective sanctions in the event of violations.

works councils as pillars of democracy

works council: Inside not only have the task of fighting for fair working conditions, but also promoting social justice and security at the workplace. Your role extends beyond the limits of the individual company and brings with it a democratic participation that is important in the entire European context.

The backing of Regner is strengthened by a draft of European Parliament to democracy at work. This draft emphasizes the importance of the co -determination rights of employees: inside as one of the cornerstones of the European social model. The challenge of compensating for the negotiating position of employers and employees remains a central topic. The European Parliament suggests to introduce a framework guideline to strengthen employee rights in order to eliminate existing discrepancies in labor law.

equality and diversity: a principle

Another important point is to promote a balanced gender distribution in companies. The European Parliament's draft demands a quota of 40% for women in non -managing and managing management bodies. This measure is crucial to actively support equality and diversity and break up stereotypes.

The Covid 19 pandemic has shown how fragile equations are. The gender -specific discrepancies on the labor market have been reinforced, which increases the urgency of reactions. Regner emphasizes the need to further strengthen the rights of the employees to the information, hearing and participation.

In summary, it should be noted that the demands for a stronger legal anchoring of participation and a revised guideline for European works councils, as required by Regner, are a fundamental improvement for the world of work in Europe. A fair and fair world of work can only be secured by clear regulations and the strengthening of the employee representation.
