Does the group use compliance to separate employees?

While these investigations were still ongoing, the company also appointed the two lawyers to represent Siemens in the legal disputes that were now beginning with the manager, who, among other things, had to sue for her return to part-time parental leave. According to labor lawyers, this dual role of CMS lawyers is an outrageous occurrence, as compliance investigations must be neutral. But how could Triemel and Forschner have objectively investigated while at the same time representing Siemens’ side in the dispute with the manager? Before the LAG, the CMS lawyers insist that they have investigated objectively – and offer themselves as witnesses because of the protection required for whistleblowers.
