Works councils have influence, under various laws, over decisions that directly affect employees. The right of consent under the Works Councils Act (WOR) is one of the best-known and strongest rights in this respect. Less well known is the right of agreement. However, this right does not stem from the WOR, but from other laws such as the Working Conditions Act, the Working Hours Act and the Work and Care Act, and sometimes from collective labour agreements (CLAs). Both rights differ fundamentally in their operation and impact. It is therefore important to know exactly which right you are dealing with.
