Auf Basis einer umfassenden rechtstatsächlichen Analyse untersucht die Arbeit die Reichweite und Grenzen der Tarifmacht für die in Unternehmenskrisen abgeschlossenen Sanierungstarifverträge allgemein und einzelner Regelungsgegenstände im Speziellen. Ausgangspunkt ist dabei das sanierungstarifvertragstypische Kompensationsgeschäft, welches den Arbeitnehmern Opfer auferlegt, diese Opfer aber durch Verpflichtungen der Arbeitgeber kompensiert und Regelungsgegenstände teilweise tatbestandlich miteinander verknüpft.Die Arbeit analysiert und vertieft sämtliche sanierungstarifvertragsspezifischen Rechtsfragen und bietet zahlreiche neue Erkenntnisse für Wissenschaft und Praxis.Der Autor arbeitet seit 2012 als Rechtsanwalt in einer internationalen Wirtschaftskanzlei in Hamburg im Bereich Arbeitsrecht und ist Autor diverser Veröffentlichungen auf diesem Gebiet

AbstractThis article examines agency responsiveness to mass comment campaigns – collections of identical and near‐duplicate comments sponsored by organizations and submitted by group members and supporters – in administrative rulemaking in the United States. Focusing on 1,049 mass comment campaigns that occurred during 22 Environmental Protection Agency rulemakings between 2012 and 2017, the article develops and assesses expectations regarding responsiveness to campaigns relative to comments submitted outside of campaigns. The analysis demonstrates that, procedurally, the agency references mass comment campaigns in its responses to comments, but cites campaigns at lower rates than other comments. In terms of outcomes, the agency's regulations are generally not consistent with changes requested in comments, a lack of association that holds especially for mass comment campaigns. These patterns suggest that legal imperatives trump political considerations in conditioning agency responsiveness, given that mass comment campaigns – relative to other comments – generally contain little "relevant matter."

This article examines the sponsorship and content of mass comment campaigns in administrative rulemaking in the United States. Mass comment campaigns consist of identical and near‐duplicate comments sponsored by organizations and submitted by group members and supporters to government agencies in response to proposed rules. Drawing from research on interest group lobbying, it is posited that organizations of all types sponsor mass comment campaigns, but that campaigns submitted by regulated entities (i.e., industries) are more substantive than campaigns generated by beneficiaries of stringent regulations (e.g., environmental advocacy groups). These expectations are confirmed in the context of more than one thousand mass comment campaigns that occurred during Environmental Protection Agency rulemakings between 2012 and 2016. The analysis primarily focuses on data collected about the identity of organizations that sponsor mass comment campaigns and the content (i.e., length and complexity) of campaigns, and is supplemented by interviews conducted with organizations that sponsor campaigns. The findings suggest that mass comment campaigns are not a phenomenon meriting unique explanation, but rather occur in a manner similar to lobbying in other policymaking venues, such as lawmaking in Congress.

Abstract
Background Spinal tuberculosis is a manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The incidence of tuberculosis is low in high-income countries; however, globally, it still remains one of the most frequent fatal infectious diseases. Because of its rarity in developed countries, spinal tuberculosis can be mistaken for malignant tumors of the spine, especially in case of an atypical radiologic manifestation and without pulmonary affection.
Methods We present the case of a 39-year-old man from South India with quickly progressing gait disturbance and hypesthesia below the Th10 level. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an osteolytic lesion of the vertebral arch Th2 with central necrosis and compression of the spinal cord altogether highly suspicious for spinal metastasis.
Results After surgical removal of the mass by laminectomy, the patient regained normal neurologic function. Histology revealed a severe granulomatous inflammation and DNAhybridization of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products detected Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific DNA in the sample. Biopsy of an enlarged hilar lymphnode allowed us to obtain material to successfully perform a drug resistance test to start specific antimicrobial therapy.
Conclusion Spinal tuberculosis, even with atypical radiologic appearance, has to be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with provenance from endemic countries. A multidisciplinary diagnostic approach helps perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing to avoid delaying the start of antibiotic therapy.
