The essay deals with employee participation in Germany, by focusing upon the so called “co-determination at plant level” (betriebliche Mitbestimmung), which is certainly less known and studied in our Country than “codetermination at the company level” (unternehmerische Mit-bestimmung). The cue is given by the reading of the volume of W. Däubler and M. Kittner, History and future of the workplace order, which in 2022 was published in second edition. After framing employee participation in Germany in the European context, the author analyses its most important events, by concentrating his attention on the Act on the workplace order of 1972, which still now regulates the structure and prerogatives of works councils. The goal is to offer the Italian reader not only the juridical frame, but also the historical and social context in which the participative structures have developed, and their practical working in the real life. In the second part of the contribution contemporary challenges are dealt with, with particular attention given to the topic of ecological transition. The German experience, though not repli-cable in our Country, invites us to address without delay the problem of the legislative support to employee participation.
Keywords: Germany; Employee participation; Works councils; Codetermination; Ecological transition.
