Industry

The grinding wheels of labor fuel the economies and markets of the world. Machines, factories and blue-collar workers line up in endless drudgery, churning out the staples of everyday living. Industry Influence sways the formation of unions, the movements of work projects, locations for factories and the product of manufacturing concerns. Union workers, foremen, engineers, construction workers, manual laborers and all manner of professionals exist among these ranks.
Trade unions in West Germany came together under an umbrella organisation, the German Trade Union Confederation (Deutscher Gwerkschaftsbund or DGB). The DGB is made up of 16 trade unions, representing 5 million members nationwide, in professions as diverse as metalworking, railway, mining, construction, agriculture, food and catering. Various other Union organisations exist; they include the German Civil Service Federation (1 million members), the German Christian Workers’ Federation, and the German Salaried Employees’ Union. Worker welfare in Germany is serious business. Employees' representation in Germany has a binary structure: trade unions that set the framework for working conditions, such as collective wage agreements, and "work councils” elected by employees to represent their interests in a company.
