SANCTIONS AGAINST THE EMPLOYER

Works councils have a particularly high amount of protection. The employer should therefore, at all costs, refrain from obstructing, disadvantaging or promoting the work of the works council. If an employer violates this principle, such violations are penalised by fines or imprisonment. If the employer violates other rights of the works council, the works council has many opportunities to take legal action against the employer. Naturally, the employer bears the costs in this regard!
