III‑ Large Companies
•Supervisory Boards
–Parity but one worker representative is a senior manager
–No neutral, ties broken by the stockholder appointed chair
•Labor director
–Appointed by majority of Supervisory Board
–i.e. can be chosen over opposition of worker representatives
•Companies sometimes try to re‑organize to avoid this system
No neutral, ties broken by the stockholder appointed chair
1998 IGMetall gave one of its ten seats on the Daimler Board to US UAW after Chrysler merger

Mostly the smaller companies
Larger ones seem to like it and often say so, e.g. Daimler-Chrysler
