§9 Resolution of the employee meeting

To do this, he can prevent employees from speaking and exclude individual employees from the meeting if they have grossly or repeatedly disrupted the meeting. If an employee is excluded, he or she is not allowed to take part in votes and must leave the meeting immediately. Such decisions can be brought about by the employee meeting.
(3) The employee meeting is not public. The chair of the meeting can admit guests, if necessary also with regard to selected agenda items.

c) the number of employees present,
d) the agenda and
e) the individual voting results and the type of voting.

The minutes must then be signed by the chairman of the meeting and the secretary.

(6) Voting is chaired by the chair of the meeting. They are done by hand signals.
(7) The employee meeting passes its resolutions with a simple majority of the votes cast. In the event of a tie, an application is considered rejected. Changes to these regulations require a majority of two thirds of the votes cast.
