Union members and non-union employees are allowed to be treated differently in the collective bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n

This does not violate the german constitution, the federal constitutional court ruled in a decision published today in karlsruhe. This is true at least when there is no coercion or pressure to join a union.

Such clauses in collective bargaining agreements stipulate that certain benefits are only available to union members.<\/p>\n

For non-members, the provisions of the employment contract and the social plan applied. The complainant wanted the same benefits as union members. He was initially successful before the labor court.
