Omnilex summary

The Federal Administrative Court allowed the plaintiff's revision in a disciplinary matter. It held that the case raises a question of fundamental importance: whether the ECtHR's case law on the right to strike for public employees has consequences for the constitutional strike ban applicable to civil servants or for disciplinary sanctions for violating that ban.

Omnilex headnote

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; admissibility of revision for fundamental importance in disciplinary proceedings concerning the public-service strike ban. A question of fundamental importance exists where the revisional proceedings can clarify whether subsequent ECtHR jurisprudence on the right to strike for public employees has any bearing on the constitutional ban on strikes for civil servants or on the disciplinary sanctioning of breaches of that ban. The need for clarification under § 132(2) No. 1 VwGO is not excluded merely because the issue concerns the relationship between constitutional civil-service law and international human-rights case law (consid. 1).

Titelzeile

Menschenrecht auf Streik - Bedeutung für Disziplinarrecht

Gründe

1 Die Revision der Klägerin ist zuzulassen, weil die Rechtssache grundsätzliche Bedeutung im Sinne von § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, § 67 Satz 1 LDG NRW hat. In dem Revisionsverfahren kann geklärt werden, ob der Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte zum Streikrecht für Angehörige des öffentlichen Dienstes (vgl. Urteil vom 21. April 2009 - 68959/01 - NZA 2010, 1423) Bedeutung für die Geltung des verfassungsrechtlichen Streikverbots für Beamte oder für die disziplinarrechtliche Sanktionierung von Verstößen gegen das Streikverbot zukommt.
