The European Works Council (EWC) and the World Employee Committee (WEC) represent the interests of all employees of the Daimler Truck Group worldwide. What sets Daimler Truck apart is that, under an agreement with company management, both bodies have been consolidated under a single leadership consisting of a chairperson and a vice chairperson. As a result, countries outside the European Union have the same rights and obligations as those within the EU, which are subject to the European Works Council Act. A five-member Presidium is responsible for coordinating European matters. Issues that extend beyond Europe are coordinated by the Executive Committee (EC), which has six members.

The goal of the EWC/WEC is cross-border cooperation between company management and employee representatives, as well as a constructive dialogue between the parties. The EWC/WEC consists of a maximum of 38 members. Each country with more than 150 employees may send one representative. The number of representatives is based on the number of employees and is capped at a maximum of six delegates. The term of office for EWC/WEC members is four years.

Michael Brecht is the chairman of the EWC/WEC —he is also chairman of the General Works Council and the Group Works Council of Daimler Truck. His deputy is Jörg Lorz, who is also deputy chairman of the Group Works Council.
