Abstract: This article continues the annual reporting on collective bargaining and employee representation at company level with data for 2020. First, the companies’ commitment to collective bargaining agreements are presented by sector and company size. Thereby the still persisting differences between west and east Germany are taken into account. Overall, however, 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 term. Albeit, a recent turnaround in east Germany can be observed, bringing the two parts of the country closer together. Finally, the joint examination of both levels of interest representation points to the extensive gaps in co-determination on the shop floor (betrieb­liche Vertretungslücken), as well as completely blank spots with no collective agreement as well.
