Contesting the Development of European Works Councils in the Chemicals Sector

Jeremy Waddington

University of Manchester, UK

The Directive on European Works Councils (EWCs) introduced areas in which management and employee representatives could contest the development of the institution. This article reviews the outcome of this contestation within the chemicals sector, examining the agenda, the ‘Europeanization’ of representatives, company transparency and integration of EWCs into wider industrial relations networks. It shows that neither the expectations of critics of the Directive nor of those who emphasized its potential have been realized.

Key Words: Chemicals Sector • company transparency • Directive on European Works Councils • Europeanization • integration
