On January 29/30, 2010, there were protests in Germany as well as in 15 other countries against a verdict that prohibits workers in Berlin from affiliating themselves with the union of their choice. The bosses at the Babylon Mitte Cinema managed to find a court to ban the FAU Berlin workers association from calling itself a union. The bosses at the Babylon are now trying to get the FAU Berlin charged with fines or even imprisoned. The background to this bizarre judicial maneuver, which is unprecedented in post-fascist Germany, is a month-long labor dispute between the FAU shop-floor and the management of the Babylon Mitte Cinema. On this special page you will find reports, photos and links about actions during the global day of protest. More information about the conflict can be found on our German language special section and our English language special section.
