Computerworld > Non-union workers' council for SAP
Computerworld > Non-union workers' council for SAP: "SAP has taken steps to form a workers council comprised of non-union employees in an effort to fend off what the German software vendor views as the harmful influence of unions on its �start-up� company culture.
SAP issued a statement earlier this month announcing the decision by eight employee representatives who currently sit on the company�s supervisory board to organise a workers council election themselves.
�If SAP is to have a workers council, then it should be a workers council that is representative of the heart of the company,� chief executive Henning Kagermann said in a statement. �We have a duty to maintain our unique company culture and values.�"
