But politicians can cripple unions as Union (German Christian Party=> Conservatives)and SPD (German Social Democrats) did with the Tarifeinheitsgesetz when the Union of Train Drivers did run a too successful strike for their taste Edit: Clarified that Union and SPD are referring to German political parties

That doesn't affect most workers in unions, and can also be protested... by striking.

How? I thought political strikes are not legal?

In Denmark if a political decision is taken that is against the union, the union can start a counter strike against them. Have happened before and it set the country on breake.

Well unfortunately it's not so easy in Germany. Good for you to have better labour laws
