Zum Haare raufen: Deutschland hat nach Corona+Energiekrise nur eine Schuldenstandsquote v.66% des BIP, Defizitquote liegt unter 3%. D ist damit "Musterschüler" in der EU. ABER die deutsche Politik meint, sie kann sich dringend benötigte Investitionen nicht mehr leisten...?!?

The striking truck drivers in #Graefenhausen have canceled their hunger strike. They are still holding out in their fight for outstanding pay and need solidarity more than ever! taz.de/Hungerstreik-a…

Ich habe für die Leipziger Zeitung einen zweiteiligen Artikel über die Schließung des Amazon-Airhubs am Leipziger Flughafen geschrieben. Ein griechischer Leiharbeiter berichtet, wie die GI die Kolleg*innen dazu drängte bei DHL Express anzufangen, wo sie Dauernachtschicht arbeiten sollen.

In September, Amazon Workers International organized a Caravan to 9 #Amazon Warehouses in Germany & Poland. They distributed "The Amazon Worker", a newspaper in 7 languages, showing that workers can be united across borders! OZZ Inicjatywa Pracownicza en.labournet.tv/amazon-caravan

Over 450,000 workers have gone on strike so far this year. Two years ago, that number was ~44,000. That's an increase of over 900%. It’s a historic moment for the labor movement. Workers are done letting billionaires and corporations hoard all the wealth and power.

Today I've been at the second trial of Wolt riders in Berlin, who haven't received their wage. One rider achieved a compromise and got 1000 € from outstanding 3000 €. Regarding the lack of a labor contract in paper, etc. it was considered a moral win.
