Reich Labor Court
The Reich Labor Court (RAG) was a supreme court of the German Reich between 1926 and 1945 with its seat in Leipzig . It was created by the Labor Court Act of December 23, 1926 and was a review body for labor matters. His successor is the Federal Labor Court founded in 1954 .
Emergence
Art. 157 sentence 2 of the Weimar Constitution of August 11, 1919 called for the establishment of uniform labor law throughout the Reich. How this should be implemented organizationally was politically highly controversial. While the unions demanded independent labor jurisdiction , the employers' associations wanted integration into the ordinary jurisdiction. A compromise was implemented with the Labor Court Act of December 23, 1926. The labor courts of the first instance were organizationally independent. However, the state labor courts as an appeal instance were attached to the regional courts and the newly created Reich Labor Court as a revision instance to the Reichsgericht ( 3rd civil senate ).
time of the nationalsocialism
During the time of National Socialism , the Reich Labor Court was also brought into line . Due to the law on the restoration of the civil service of April 7, 1933, the judges, who were unreliable from the regime's point of view, were removed. At the latest with the law on the organization of national labor of January 20, 1934, the freedom of association was finally abolished and essential areas of activity were withdrawn from labor jurisdiction.
