The first picture shows Amazon Germany. The working conditions and payment at Amazon are shit, but lol about the Union:
15.05 Leipzig - 600 of 2000 on strike
29.06 Bad Hersfeld - 300 of 3300 on strike
17.06 Leipzig - 250 of 2000 on strike
21.07 Bad Hersfeld - 300 of 3300 on strike
....
Amazon claims that the strikes wont harm them - And I believe them - German Unions sucks!
PS: Not all German unions suck - I'm an FAU (Free workers union - anarchists union) member, and founded a Betriebsrat (workers council) in 2001 that had over 95% in election against Ver.di. Ver.di is the Gleichschaltung (see wikipedia)of 5 former better unions.
- asdfdsa1234 13y agoWhat makes the FAU better than other German unions?
- kephra 13y agoWe are more radical, we do accept sabotage and direct action as an important part of our fight. Its an revolutionary syndicalism union and part of IWA/AIT. Its independent of the industry banch. e.g. if Amazon would have FAU, then the strike would likely effect computing systems bringing the complete delivery to halt. And not just 10% of the workers, who are standing at the door and changing nothing. The FAU is the best union for freelancers and temporary workers, and we are the only one who did win a strike for temp workers. The main difference in German unions to other countries is, that other countries did fight the unions, and the unions did fight back. But in Germany the government embraced the unions and socialist since WW1, and the unions are a system sustaining since then, comparable to the church in other countries.
