This document summarizes information from a meeting about establishing European Works Councils (EWCs) in multinational companies with multiple sectors. It identifies several potential obstacles to establishing EWCs, including gathering information about the company group, identifying relevant trade unions, and dealing with diverging views between management, workers from different countries, and different trade unions. It also provides examples of management strategies to resist EWCs and notes a lack of training for EWC members and national representation structures. Finally, it proposes several challenges that need to be addressed and potential starting points to facilitate establishing effective EWCs and coordination between the European and national levels.
