How does the East-West divide in Germany affect the prevalence of collective bargaining agreements and works councils?

The decrease in collective bargaining agreements impacts labor conditions and wage determination, potentially leading to less uniform competition in labor costs. For companies, these agreements usually offer planning security and prevent strikes, relieving them of direct negotiation. The study also shows a decline in works councils, currently at 37 percent compared to almost 50 percent in 1996, despite their positive impact on productivity.
