For Friday obtained N26 a restraining order against Verdi. Here, the IG Metall stepped in as organizer. The crowd was even larger than on Thursday, when 50 workers were at the event, such as “Finance Forward” reported. So, it was even called the police to the venue, to check the security arrangements. By whom, remained unclear. This would have at least had nothing to complain about. Officially, the injunction, according to a spokesman from N26 to the lack of the concept of Hygiene, however, both words as well as actions of the management speak.
The charge had already known from the Meeting, however, never expressed its concerns to the injunction.
