The 1920 Works Councils Law (Betriebsrätegesetz) introduced a legal obligation for enterprises with over 20 employees to permit the election of works councils. The law met with considerable resistance from workers, who resented the omission of co-determination right for business employees, and from business-owners, who classed any supervisory role for workers as an infringement of business secrets. Despite a massive protest by USPD and KPD in January 1920, which was brutally put down by Prussian police, the law was passed in February 1920 and remained in effect until it was suspended in January 1934 under Nazi rule.
