Grassroots Union: Prohibited!
FAU-B - 16.12.2009 13:04

On December 11, 2009, the Berlin District Court decided that the Free Workers' Union Berlin (FAU-B) could no longer call itself a union or grassroots union. This is the culmination of a series of attempts by the Neue Babylon Berlin GmbH to legally hogtie the strongest and most active form of workers' representation in the company.

This attack on the basic right of freedom of association is a de facto ban of the union. The way we see it, it is the workers who decide how they want to organise. If it isn't overturned, this verdict will not only represent an affront against the FAU-B but also against any form of independent grassroots organising.

How to support us?

Get involved: Solidarity is our weapon!

English: Here you find every information you need to support the FAU Berlin.

You can help us – amongst your own ideas – by:

* Carrying out protest actions in front of German diplomatic missions (embassies, consulates) or other institutions that represent the German state.
* Sending protest letters to German embassies in your country, including a carbon copy to the management of the Kino Babylon Mitte.
* Sending protest faxes to the responsible Berlin court.

Here -

http://www.fau.org/verbot/DtAuslandsvertretungenListe.pdf you find a list of all German diplomatic missions. Look if there is an embassy or consulate in your city. This file also includes information on how to contact the embassy in your country. The listed country names are given in German. Here you find – if necessary – a table to find out how your country's name is in German.

Here [soon to come] templates for protest letters you can direct to the German embassy.

The contact to the Management of the cinema Babylon Mitte is:
Fax: +49 - (0)30 - 24727-800
E-mail:

grossman@babylonberlin.de |

hackel@babylonberlin.de

The contact to the competent court (Landgericht Berlin) is:
Fax: +49 (0)30 90188 - 518

Soon to come, templates for protest letters you can direct to the Landgericht (court).

Jammer dat we zo'n bond niet in Nederland hebben. De Vrije Bond is toch meer een activisten collectief dan een 'echte' vakbond.

Bond

Nn - 17.12.2009 00:13

Daar heeft de Vrije Bond zelf voor gekozen toen ze met het Onafhankelijk Verbond van Bedrijfsorganisaties (OVB) braken omdat ze niet gewend waren met werkende mensen om te gaan.

NN - 17.12.2009 11:24

Waren er niet laatst op de pinksterlandsdagen weer discussies over zo'n vakbond?
