Horkheimer’s Mannesmann contract intersected a works-council dispute over co-determination.
Evidence
When Horkheimer took on the Mannesmann contract, there was a legal dispute going on between the works councils and the board of directors of the Mannesmann holding company to decide whether or not the holding company, which already comprised a number of the companies separated by the Allies, was affected by the Workers’ Participation Law. The Workers’ Participation Law gave equal representation on the board of directors to representatives of the workers and to representatives of the owners of the company’s capital, and meant that a workers’ representative would become an executive director. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2056
