    Mercedes-Benz’s aggressive anti-union campaign against U.S. autoworkers in Alabama is a clear human rights violation under the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains

    I was a bit skeptical about this but it seems the law does indeed include

    1. the prohibition of disregarding the freedom of association, according to which
      a) employees are free to form or join trade unions

    §2 II 6 LkSG
