Abstract: This article continues the annual reporting on collective bargaining and company level representation by works councils with data for 2021. First, the companies’ commitment to collective bargaining agreements are presented by company size and economic sectors. Thereby the still persisting differences between west and east Germany are taken into account. Since 1996, collective bargaining coverage in both parts of the country has shown a clear downward trend. Looking at co-determination at the plant level, we also find a distinct downward movement in works council coverage in the long run. Finally, the joint examination of both levels of interest representation points to the extensive gaps in representation and co-determination on the shop floor (betriebliche Vertretungslücken) and also completely blank spots with no collective agreement at all.
