Abstract: The article examines how employers hinder the work of works councils and unions and which strategies and practices the employee side uses as a counter-reaction. On the basis of 28 case studies from various sectors and a total of 85 interviews with works councils, union secretaries, employees, employer representatives and experts, six central dimensions of the employees’ fight against union busting and the obstruction of works councils are discussed. Our analysis of successful and failed conflicts points to a wide range of very different paths of employee strategies. The findings indicate that committed actors, the backing of the workforce and a strategic approach involving several participating actors such as unions and social networks (NGOs) are success factors.
