While numerous studies have focussed either on EWCs/SEWCs or BLER, rather little is known about the relationships and interdependencies between these arenas in MNCs. The combination of transnational information and consultation with participation rights is, however, of specific relevance for employee representation in MNCs. Based on evidence from company case studies, the paper analyses the articulation between SEWCs and board-level employee representatives in SEs.
