Board-level employee representation was won in Germany with nothing but a couple of world wars and a Russian revolution. So tell me, how exactly does one go about "supporting" it?

Without the threat of the Soviet Union or even a semblance of an organized labor movement, there is nothing meaningful to support.

German IT industry pales in comparison to what a single region in the US has in terms of employee compensation and total employment.

I feel like this isn’t a great comparison: Software is what US is strong in. A better comparison would be US automakers vs German ones.

But we are talking about layoffs in software ...

Also by revenue, US automakers are bigger than German ones.
