Abstract
In this article, I draw on case study evidence to assess different aspects of the representativeness of European Works Councils. First, I consider how representativeness is framed by external sources of legitimation, such as the legal framework and the founding agreements. Second, I examine the internal legitimacy that can be derived from their membership. Third, I explore the reciprocal construction of legitimacy through linkages with local employee representation structures. Finally, I discuss their role in relation to trade unions and the further Europeanization of industrial relations.
