The article analyses two campaigns in Germany in the context of trade unions that deal with inequality. The minimum wage campaign successfully led to the implementation of a legal minimum wage in Germany. The Emmely campaign reinstated a supermarket cashier who was sacked after a strike, and the federal labour court introduced a slight change of labour law in the wake of the campaign. Both campaigns relied on overwhelming support from the general population.
