Context as for previous question, but this occurs in two paragraphs. I don't think I can use "authority" here, and the best I could come up with was "Representation of the workforce". Am I missing something?

**Повноваження** трудового колективу реалізуються, загальними зборами (конференцією) та їх виборним органом, члени якого обираються таємним голосуванням на зборах (конференції), трудового колективу строком на 2-3 рохи не менш як 2/3 голосів. Членів виборного органу не може бутизвільнено з роботи або переведено на інші посади з ініціативи Директора ТОВАРИСТВА без згодивідповідного виборного органу цього колективу.
**Повноваження** трудового колективу з питань самоврядування і соціального розвитку визначаються колективним договором, який укладається між ним та Загальними зборами учасників або їх уповноваженим представником,

Explanation:
I think "representation" is a good candidate, like in this example:
"Substantively, that means at least that employees must be able to make collective representations to their employer, which must be “considered in good faith” by the employer, meaning that the employer must not be able to simply dismiss the representations out of hand."
I would suggest as other possibilities "powers" or "rights"

Well, I've left it as "repesentation", because I don't think I can say "The powers of the workforce are exercised by ...". But you did confirm it was a reasonable choice!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, that's the sort of thing I mean. Also, there is the виборний орган, which is much more like a "works council" than the трудовий колектив!
