Ask your employer to set up a European Works Council
Make a request
The Brexit transition period has ended and new rules on participating in a European Works Council now apply. This page is currently out of date.
Write to your employer to ask them to set up a European Works Council (EWC).
It must be backed by at least 100 employees from at least 2 European Economic Area (EEA) sites.
Send it to the central or local management of the business.
Your employer can challenge your request for an EWC if:
- they think the request is not valid, for example because the business does not employ enough people
- there’s an existing information and consultation agreement
