»The Liability of Trade Unions for Damages Caused by Illegal Strikes«

The thesis addresses the question who carries the risk of illegal strikes. The trade union is liable to the employers' side, in the first instance from contractual liability complemented by tortious liability. Uninvolved third parties don't have contractual claims towards the trade union: both, legal and illegal strikes belong to the ordinary risks of life. This conclusion fits into the overall concept. Under the principle of relativity of obligations third parties have to address their own contractual partner.
