The New EU EWC Directive
The new EU Directive on European Works Councils (EU 2025/2450) brings major changes to your rights, responsibilities and opportunities as an EWC member. With expanded consultation rights, stronger enforcement, increased financial support and mandatory renegotiations ahead, this is the moment to strengthen your position.
This one-day training is designed for EWC members who want to understand what the new directive means in practice and how to use it effectively in negotiations and daily cooperation with management.
Whether you are part of an existing EWC or involved in new negotiations, this training will give you clarity, confidence and concrete tools to act.
Key topics
- The expanded scope of transnational matters;
- Mandatory renegotiations and employee-triggered requests;
- New rules for meetings, experts, training and costs;
- Transparency and limits of confidentiality;
- Enforcement, sanctions and national implementation;
- Practical implications for existing and new EWC agreements.
Working method
Through short presentations, practical examples and interactive discussions, you will exchange experiences with EWC members from other international organisations and translate the new rules into concrete action for your own EWC.
This training empowers you to turn new legislation into real influence.
