As far as I know, the somewhat uniquely German thing about works councils is the power they have and how strongly protected their creation is. But honestly, it’s often hard to keep track of what rights are EU given and which ones are local.

Aren't workers coucils the Betriebsrat?

Unions are more like political parties and workers coucil are more like parts of the government you can get elected to.

You are almost completely right, I deleted that part from my comment. Turns out, it’s very important to distinguish between Workers' council [0] and Works council [1] :D
