Depressingly, Brexit has just caused the same thing... The old page [0] about EU-mandated law regarding Works Councils now says "The Brexit transition period has ended and new rules on participating in a European Works Council now apply. This page is currently out of date." The new page [1] says: "Only people employed in EEA countries can ask their employer to set up an EWC. If you are employed in the UK you cannot ask for one to be set up" :( (I'm not actually sure if this was an intentional change or just an accidental side-effect of the UK leaving the EEA [2], but the Tories hardly deserve the benefit of the doubt regarding intent when it comes to a pro-capital anti-workers change, and they could easily just extend the old bill to cover "EEA or UK" rather than "only EEA" if it wasn't wanted...)
