We consistently strive for constructive relationships with our employees, representatives and unions.
Our aim here is to achieve a fair balance between the company’s business interests and the interests of our people worldwide. The Linde Group respects the right of its employees to unionise.
In Germany, the Works Constitution Act (BetrVG) regulates cooperation between company management and employee representatives. Employee representation at the Linde Group is two-tiered, consisting of decentralised works councils for individual units and a central works council for the Group as a whole. In addition to this dual co-determination system, Linde has maintained a European Works Council for some years. This promotes communication between employee representatives across borders.
