Abstract There is dissension over the rights of shop stewards' committees when new technology, such as microelectronics, is introduced into the workplace. This booklet collects the most important legal decisions concerning workstations with video display terminals which have been handed down in the Federal Republic of Germany from 1980 to 1982. The decisions are grouped according to the articles of the relevant legislation: the law on the status of enterprises, the law on the protection of computerised data, the law regulating the exercise of professions, the ordinance on workplaces, and safety regulations and rules (VBG and ZH). In each case, a short description of the situation is followed by the decision and its bases.
