This paper considers the historical deployment of state intervention in the determination process of the working conditions in Germany. After World War I, the working conditions of entire industries in Germany were determined by collective agreements concluded through autonomous negotiations between employer organizations and trade unions meeting on an equal footing. In principle, state intervention in the process of determining working conditions was avoided, giving companies and workers "autonomy of collective agreement" (Tarifautonomie). But the principle of Tarifautonomie broke down in time. After the start of the Great Depression in 1929, the state's role in the process of determining working conditions became distinctly more important, and that of the trade unions lost significance. In the Third Reich, trade unions, the pillar of collective industrial relations in the Weimar Republic, were dismantled. In a effect, final authority concerning working conditions was given to government officials termed Labor Trustees, replacing the trade unions. Managers considered to be leaders in the business community would unilaterally determine working conditions from the base line set by the Labor Trustees, and workers lost an autonomous representative of their interests. Furthermore, they lost fundamental rights, such as freedom of workplace movement, and the freedom to conclude contracts. However, especially after 1936, cases were occasionally seen where individual laborers were involved in decision making concerning working conditions. The characteristics of industrial relations in the Weimar Republic which were denied in the Third Reich included strong labor unions, confrontational management-labor relations at the industry level, and autonomous and collective decision making concerning working conditions. However, it is thought many of the characteristics were revitalized on the form after World War II. In this paper, the above deployment processes were surveyed through three time periods (the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, and the post-World War II era), taking particular note of the positioning of trade unions. Several problems and points of discussion for considering the problem of continuity between them are shown.
