I note with astonishment that the Companies Bill leaves the whole industriAall relations side of companies out. It does not require publication of labour and other costs important for consultation and negotiation. It does not give empLloy= ee representatives any rights, such as is written into German law, to receive reports on their company's plans and progress, to access to data needed for negotiating and enforcing agreements, to be present at the Board, or to claim damages if employees' interests are treated unreasonably in the closure, contraction, or transfer of a plant or 4 major switch in its type of production
