The union sees the officials as strikebreakers and wanted to forbid their use for bestreikte activities entirely.
The court did not follow suit. It relied on a precedent of the Federal Constitutional Court of 1993, after which only the “forcible” used by officers at the post office employee strikes are prohibited. Volunteer assignments are however, permitted by the Bonn Labour Court considers said the presiding judge.

officials may not refuse
At the hearing Ver.di had submitted numerous cases of officials who were playing in a warning strike for activities of employees. Official statements Even in these cases, but no one had been forcibly inserted, the lawyer said the Post. He presented, among others, Affidavits of supervisors of some of these employees. The union, however, is unsure whether officials dare ever, to fight back against the acquisition of on strike action, if the supervisor is pressing.
Officials allowed official instructions anyway not refuse in order not to violate any laws. But you have the option to formally appeal against the order at the service men. Such complaints could get with the decision that emphasizes the voluntary nature of the use, a greater role.
