Revision costs allocation following dismissal of labor law appeal

The German Federal Labor Court (4th Senate) dismissed the plaintiff's revision, leaving the appeal court's judgment in force and ordering the plaintiff to bear the revision costs. The dispute concerned a civil employment law matter, specifically involving the plaintiff's challenge to the lower courts' decision on substantive labor relations issues. The court's ruling is grounded in the standard revision criteria, finding no error of law in the lower courts' assessment of the facts and application of the relevant employment law doctrines, thereby upholding the defendant's position.
