TikTok’s Berlin office allowed to elect works council

Employees at TikTok’s Berlin office can form a works council despite headwinds from management. This was reported by Nikkei Asia concerning the trade union Ver.di, which supports the project. According to the report, 102 of the approximately 200 Berlin employees met mid-July to appoint an election committee at Ver.di’s national headquarters. The actual election is expected to take place in August. A previously digitally conducted election board formation had failed due to the legal resistance of the employer and was delayed by a year.
