The Works Council for Academic and Artistic University Staff is the elected staff representative body for all academic staff at TU Wien, namely: tutors, teaching assistants, research assistants, assistants, lecturers, and professors.

The Works Council is the legally mandated representative body for employees’ economic, social, health, and cultural interests.

Role of the Works Council

In its role, the Works Council exercises employees’ rights to participate in shaping operational processes, working hours, the quality and equipment of workstations, and similar areas that directly affect employees. In this sense, it represents the interests of the entire workforce, but also plays a key role in representing the interests of individual employees vis-à-vis the employer, TU Wien, where applicable. In addition, it directly supports the workforce through counseling sessions.
