Not just swallowing a dismissal can be worth it. Thus the general syndicate Dresden supported one of its members that resisted against a dismissal before court. The colleague was awarded 2000 € severance pay. It was shown to the company that it can be quite expensive to put one’s employees in front of the door without a sound.

The member was employed by a temporary employment agency in the field of education and social affairs. Contrary to the precarious reputation of this industry, the company promoted collegial interaction with the employees, a family atmosphere and so on.

One could talk about anything and the needs of the employees were taken into consideration. The FAU member had to experience for themselves that this collegiality is quickly over as soon as one does not function as desired by the company management. After a long period of illness, they were dismissed without giving reasons. In doing so, no requirements of protection against dismissal were met and the dismissal was therefore invalid.

School year review 2018/19

Last year, after the summer holidays, we came together as anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist youth and critical pupils to form a group. This was preceded by the open meeting of the education sector, which has been taking place since November 2017, the monthly Alternative Pupil Networking since February 2018, the Critical Education Alliance with a series of lectures and an education strike in June 2018. These were all meetings at which we discussed and planned, organised and learned.

Since 10 am students of the University of Fine Arts (HfBK) have been occupying their library. The occupation is in protest against the right-wing opinions of Barbara Lenk, head of the library and AfD list candidate. She had herself placed on the AfD list for the local elections in Meissen as a non-party candidate. Continue reading “Submission: Against AfD – students of the HfBK Dresden occupy their library”

Yesterday, a small anarchist demonstration gathered at Schlossplatz and moved with several speeches across Augustusbrücke, Albertplatz to Alaunpark.

Here are some pictures of the demonstration and festival of the AND.

6th of April | 2 pm | Postplatz Dresden | Website of the Alliance “Stop Dresden’s Rent Madness!”

As in many large cities, rents in Dresden are rising rapidly. Many people can hardly afford their flat anymore. Others have to move to cheaper neighbourhoods. They are driven out of their environment so that a few can make high profits with their properties. While wages have remained at the same level for years, the share of rent in the monthly costs is increasing. If the rent is only just affordable, it becomes a burden that threatens the existence of the company when small cuts are made. Continue reading “Demo on 6th of April: Stop Dresden’s Rent Madness!”

If we can stand up for our rights with strikes or school and university boycotts also depends on if we have support during the consequences. On this evening we want to introduce the trade union federation Free Workers’ Union (FAU) and its international confederation ICL. FAU and ICL are decidedly grassroots democratic, anti-capitalist and feminist. In this way they are make labour struggles and social perspectives possible that would be unthinkable in other German unions. At the same time the members help each other in solidarity: If the pension is too low, in conflicts with the job centre or the landlord, with health problems, housework, and repression. FAU and ICL participated internationally in the FemStrike with legal protection, strike pay and actions. We would like to briefly introduce the relevant structures and situations in the various countries (Canada, USA, Argentina, Spain, Greece, Italy, Poland, Germany) and look forward to hearing from you! We don’t want you to have to discuss while you’re hungry, so we’d like to invite you to our buffet.
