Labour Court rulings in Verizon cases welcomed by employers with EWCs

European Works Councils (EWCS) are bodies that facilitate information and consultation with European employees of multinational companies on transnational issues within the organisation. They are not negotiating bodies. The EU Directive on EWCs has been transposed into Irish law by the Transnational Information and Consultation of Employees Act 1996 (“TICEA”) and the European Communities (Transnational Information and Consultation of Employees Act 1996) (Amendment) Regulations 2011.
