Rejoice!
June 10, 2010 in Berlin was the appeal process against the verdict given Dec. 11, 2009 which forbid FAU Berlin from calling itself a union. The appeal court overturned the decision and the bosses of Kino Babylon Mitte cannot appeal this. The judges argued that calling oneself a union falls under the rights of free speech.
It is still unknown what will happen about the fines which were levied o the union after the ban. For example, thez were fined for having references to themselves as a union in the statutes which were published on the internet.
After the announcement of the decision, there was a picket in front of the court and then people headed to Kino Babylon for another to celebrate the victory over the boss.
