Prof. Daniel Ulber at the conference “Inequality in Collective Bargaining Agreements” in Bayreuth

On October 24, Prof. Daniel Ulber took part in the conference “Inequality in Collective Agreements – On the ‘Decision of the Century’ by the Federal Constitutional Court.” Prof. Dr. Adam Sagan from the University of Bayreuth and Inken Gallner, President of the Federal Labor Court, organized the conference and chaired the day's proceedings. The conference was very well attended, and a large number of representatives from the labor courts participated actively in the discussions.

In his presentation, Prof. Daniel Ulber focused on the legal consequences of unequal collective bargaining standards and the primary corrective authority of the parties to collective agreements. The presentation highlighted the practical consequences of the decision and addressed in particular the resulting problems in judicial legal protection.

Prof. Dr. Dres. h.c. Monika Schlachter (former director of the IAAEU), Prof. Dr. Martin Eifert (judge at the Federal Constitutional Court), and Prof. Dr. Stefan Greiner (University of Bonn) had already provided input earlier in the day.

Afterwards, social partners Dr. Grégory Garloff (Food, Beverages and Catering Union (NGG)) and Roland Wolf (BDA | Confederation of German Employers' Associations) discussed the significance of the decision. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Katja Gelinsky LL.M. (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). Many thanks to everyone who helped organize this conference!
