CSU employee Höfer moves to court: dispute over a warning escalated!

The CSU state management has given a warning against Ulrike Höfer, who works as a federal constituency manager at the CSU. Höfer defends himself against the warning and filed a lawsuit, which leads to an upcoming court appointment before the labor court in Munich. The appointment is scheduled for January 9th.

Ulrike Höfer, who has been a member of the CSU for over 30 years, has been a councilor in the past and is currently deputy leader in the Augsburg-Land district council. Since 2011 she has been working full-time organizational tasks within the CSU, and since 2016 she has headed the office of the CSU federal constituency Ostallgäu. Her tasks include the coordination of appointments, the processing of bureaucracy and the organization of campaign events.

Details on the warning and the backgrounds

The dispute between Höfer and the CSU began with a warning on September 20, which referred to a supposed violation of employment contracts. Höfer had coordinated an appointment for a neighboring party sub -organization after she was no longer responsible for the constituency. Höfer describes the warning as "completely surprising" and "deeply hurtful" and suspects that she is related to overtime and vacation days.

Höfer is perceived as "pushed out" by supporters and is considered a confidante of the former CSU member of the state parliament Franz Josef Pschierer, who switched to the FDP in 2022. At that time, Pschierer's change led to violent criticism within the Unterallgäuer CSU. Höfer is disappointed with the dealings of the party and demands the withdrawal of the warning and the deletion from her personnel file. With regard to the warning, the CSU has not yet made any statement and does not provide any information on personnel matters.

CSU boss Markus Söder and Secretary General Martin Huber act as persons entitled to represent in this procedure. Höfer will continue to be available as a contact for local or district associations for questions about elections and events, despite the tense situation.
