To whom it may concern, Germany claims to be a shining example of democracy, but democracy doesn't seem to count when it comes to the rights of the workers to unionize. Because of bans, their freedom to form unions is being restricted. The Berlin Regional Court has decided that the FAU Berlin can no longer call itself a "union" or a "grassroots union". The prohibition of an independent organization of workers is a scandal. We cannot let you walk all over workers' rights in your country. We won't simply stand by while the Federal Republic of Germany infringes upon ILO conventions and human rights. Rest assured we will publicize this scandalous state of affairs. We call on the Federal Republic of Germany to make sure this prohibition is overturned at the appeal hearing at the Kammergericht on June 10, 2010, and to stop threatening the FAU Berlin with penalties when it publicly stands up for the interests and needs of its members.
