"The working paper uses the example of digitalization to showcase how European Works Councils can further develop their participation practices in companies and their various locations. There is both room and need for improvement in organizing decent digital work and in the use of information and consultation rights by European Works Councils. It is possible to resolve the contradiction between what is and what should be when European Works Councils improve their knowledge about digitalization practice with a digitalization checklist and specific questions. Targeted processing and presentation of this knowledge lets them enhance their position in relation to company management."
