Isn't it illegal to fire protesting workers? At least here in Germany its illegal as far as I know. But it must be a protest event (which it seems to be).
Please note that Germany has (compared to other EU members) quite strict and company-friendly protesting laws.
Such protests may be even considered as political protest (Politischer Streik) which makes them not illegal per se but could be illegal. https://www.bpb.de/themen/medien-journalismus/netzdebatte/219308/ein-bisschen-verboten-politischer-streik/
Yes, I don‘t think such protests would fall under the general protesting laws as they have nothing to do with your working conditions.
