Eligibility for collective agreement night work surcharges under the constitutional equality principle

The Federal Labour Court (BAG) dismissed the plaintiff's revision, upholding the lower court's judgment and ordering the plaintiff to bear the revision costs. The dispute concerned a claim for contractual night work allowances (*Nachtarbeitszuschläge*), with the procedural context noted as a decision issued without a statement of facts or reasons (*Urteil ohne Tatbestand und Entscheidungsgründe*). The legal analysis centered on the application of the equality principle (*Gleichheitssatz*) in the context of collective agreement wage supplements, determining that the plaintiff's challenges to the denial of these tariff-based payments were without merit.
