The larger the company, the more likely the directors indicated positive views of codetermination. 61% of Swedish corporate directors reported positive experiences with employee board representation. 2/3rds of managing directors reported that union participation 'makes it easier to carry out decisions on shutting down a company, going into liquidation, or reducing the workforce.'
