Das AfD-nahe „Zentrum“ blieb vor Gericht mit seiner Forderung auf Zugang zu einem VW-Betrieb erfolglos.

DANIEL WEIDMANN (@dsan1.bsky.social) hält fest: Eine Gewerkschaft ist das „Zentrum“ jedenfalls nicht. Anlass zur Entwarnung besteht trotzdem nicht.

Auch MATTIAS WENDEL und SARAH GEIGER begrüßen die Egenberger-Entscheidung des BVerfG.

Das BVerfG hat mit der Egenberger-Entscheidung seine eigene europaverfassungsrechtliche Rechtsprechung konkretisiert und verschlankt, meint HEIKO SAUER.
