Following results of German Works Council elections this spring, ICEM affiliate IGBCE has raised its representation voice inside companies to 85%. That is 5% better than results reflected in the last overall elections in 2002.
IGBCE Governing Board Member Michael Vassiliadis termed the new number “an outstanding result” and a “clear signal” of worker confidence in Germany’s most diverse industrial union.
“Under difficult conditions, we continue to add,” said Vassiliadis. IGBCE has over one million members in Germany, and the union, through its worker representatives, has strong voice on some 3,700 Works Councils.
