Weselsky referred to two judgments of the Hessian labor courts from November 2014. “Our conduct is lawful, admissible and proportionate.” The train was negotiating with the aim to reach no conclusion with the GDL because of the new law on collective unit wait.

A sticking point for the union is the classification of the tariff structure Lokrangierführer train. They criticized the railway wanted these colleagues who are responsible for about the coupling and uncoupling of trains, lower classify as employees on the track.
The conflict is so difficult because the GDL with the larger Railway and Transport union (ECG) is fighting for influence in the railway company. In addition, the GDL will achieve a success before the coming bargaining unit law of black-red government limited the power of small unions.
