Exercise: Strategies to address union decline in Germany
TASK:
One of the key factors for unions to improve wages and conditions is the ability to put industrial pressure on employers
at the workplace through its membership. With the decline in union density, unions are losing the ability to achieve this
outcome.
Imagine you are a Union Organizer in a German Union and are charged with increasing union members in a workplace
and with improving wages and conditions in your industry.
How would you, as an organizer, work with works councils to increase union members and improve wages and
conditions?
What limitations do you see with this strategy?
