Fraction of collective agreement for Deutsche Telekom?
Laut Presseberichten plant die Deutsche Telekom nach der erfolgten Einigung im Tarifstreit mit Verdi Ende Juni nun offenbar doch noch mehr Entlassungen als bisher bekannt.
Bisher war schon der Abbau von 32.000 Stellen geplant.
Personalvorstand Thomas Sattelberger will Zeitungsberichten zufolge bis 2009 knapp jede dritte der insgesamt 6500 Stellen in seinem Ressort streichen. Ein Verdi-Sprecher bezeichnete die weitere Umstrukturierung des Konzerns als "nicht ganz überraschend".
Allerdings würde die Gewerkschaft den Abbau zusätzlicher Stellen als "Bruch einer gültigen Tarifvereinbarung" betrachten. So solle die Mitarbeiterzahl in der Zentrale "an die Benchmarks vergleichbarer Unternehmen angepasst werden", zitierte the "Berliner Zeitung" the business community. A total of about 2,000 jobs would be cut. Of the job cuts as the telecom sector is concerned training of 350 trainers, who are responsible for education and training.
When the Telekom already in November 2005 announced reductions of 32,000 runs points to 2008. the figure of 2,000 jobs if confirmed, and still come here, the breach of a valid collective agreement.
It is hoped that this will be answered accordingly then also from the union.
° Can Spaceships the huge distances in space bridge?
For technically superior civilizations it certainly would. The aliens could even be here already - only they do not make themselves visible.
The question arose, albeit in modified form, already the Italian nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi. He sat in December 1942 in Chicago, the first controlled nuclear chain reaction and later joined the "Manhattan Project". Under this pseudonym developed U.S. scientists in research laboratories of Los Alamos, the atomic bomb. Fermi dealt with one of the most fundamental questions of humanity : "Are we ? The only technological civilization in the universe "
Where are the aliens When searching for an answer he made to the following consideration: If there were in the Milky Way even a single race, which dominates the interstellar space, then could they fly through the galaxy in 20 to 40 million years and drive it all the habitable planets and colonize (this would happen to lower the speed of light). Consequently, there should be extraterrestrial civilizations in our galactic neighborhood in great numbers. But so far, was still no indication of existence.
Where are they then? Then there are several answers: Either there are technical civilizations, but they are not developed further than us and not dominate the space. You could also colonized neighboring worlds, but the earth have exempted, or they are not easy, and we are in the Milky Way is the only technological civilization. This was received as the "Fermi paradox" in the history of science: the idea that there are in our universe, many technologically advanced civilizations, given our observations that suggest the opposite, paradoxical, and suggests that either our understanding or our observations errors or incomplete.
Interstellar space travel is still possible recently joined other researchers back to the Fermi Paradox on, but they come to very different conclusions: the aliens, they say, are quite here, but we did not realize this. In a study published in 2005 justified the U.S. physicists James Deardorff, Bernard Haisch, Bruce Maccabee and Harald Puthoff this idea. The starting point is their conviction that interstellar space travel - even faster than light - contrary to earlier views it is possible. ° ° °
11 UFOs have been tracked by Mexican pilots

Tatsächlich hielten es die meisten Physiker und Astronomen bislang für unmöglich, dass Raumschiffe die riesigen Abgründe zwischen den Sternen überwinden können. Doch für eine weit fortgeschrittene technische Zivilisation, die uns um Hunderttausende von Jahren voraus ist, argumentiert das Forscherquartett, könnte ein Raumflug auch über viele hundert Lichtjahre hinweg so einfach zu bewerkstelligen sein wie für uns eine Reise von Frankfurt nach New York.
Die Fremden benutzen Abkürzungen durchs All So könnten die Fremden Wurmlöcher als Tunnel durch Raum und Zeit nutzen und Raumreisen damit drastisch abkürzen, or they developed a "Alcubierre drive" that is manipulating the space so that a ship can move in it almost timeless (see the column "faster than light space travel of 30 3, 2007). In both cases, the "cosmic speed limit" would that put us to the finite speed of light - they can be according to Einstein's relativity theory of classical objects such as spaceships known not to be exceeded, overcome
would continue, according to Deardorff and Co. a journey through higher dimensions conceivable.. The string theory, our universe is just one of many that are embedded in a higher dimensional space. Habitable Universes could it only a few inches away are of our own.
Perhaps the others were indeed a way to break through the dimensional barrier. But this reinforces the paradox only, as this would have to colonize so much more the possibility of civilizations, the Milky Way and the confidence to find the ground. Finally, the large number of newly discovered planets in distant solar systems close to that life and intelligence thus arise more frequently than previously thought. We should have had long extraterrestrial visitors. But why are they not here?
Perhaps we are sitting in a zoo The answer, say the four U.S. researchers, lies in the UFOs. Although confess they, too, that most sightings can be explained by optical illusions, earthly objects such as airplanes, balloons or lights, or are fakes. A small amount of observations, however, remains inexplicable. As an outstanding example, they call it a UFO sighting of 1978 on New Zealand, where a UFO herflog next to an occupied eight passenger aircraft. These witnesses filmed and photographed the bright object, it has also been seen from the ground and filmed, it also appeared on radar screens. There is no explanation for this phenomenon is not today.
If the many unidentified flying objects but actually space ships are used by members of a alien civilization can be controlled, why give them on their visits not to recognize it? For this cause, the study authors, a few even older hypotheses in the field. About "Zoo Hypothesis": The strangers we want to study without affecting their objects of study by their presence - as we sometimes do in zoo animals
You could also contact afraid, because we sure are not yet mature enough. or could break out because of an open meeting with ET a worldwide panic that sweeps away all the governments. Or the shock breaks out of social chaos that prevents the development of our civilization. why they would wait wisely, to our knowledge und kosmisches Verständnis weit genug gediehen sind, um einen Kontakt zu verkraften. Dann könnten wir die Fremden verstehen und kämen auch mit ihrer technischen Überlegenheit besser zurecht.
Ein galaktischer Codex Doch wieso lassen sie dann ihre Flugapparate von Zeit zu Zeit durch die Luft zischen und sich auch noch dabei filmen? Das, so das Forscherquartett, diene dazu, uns langsam auf die Enthüllung ihrer Existenz vorzubereiten. Das langsame Lüften des Geheimnisses ist also eine Art Erziehungsprogramm. Deshalb lenken sie die Aufmerksamkeit kleiner Gruppen von Menschen auf Phänomene, die natürliche Erklärungen ausschließen. Wenn ein Auto im elektromagnetischen Feld eines Ufos stehen bleibt, as some reported UFO observers, can this not be a party balloon or an aircraft landing light to explain away. So they mean the witness that they are aware of our presence. The deliberately chosen small number of witnesses precludes influence their sightings of the entire society. For the same reason or do they leave nothing that would allow a clear discovery of the UFOs. ° ° °

This cautious approach suggests that U.S. physicists to leave hohe ethische Standards der Besucher schließen. Vielleicht folgen sie einem „Codex galactica", der für sie den Kontakt mit neu entdeckten Zivilisationen regelt. Möglicherweise existiert sogar ein Netzwerk unterschiedlicher Zivilisationen quer durch die Milchstraße, deren Späher uns durch ihre nur halbherzig verheimlichten Besuche auf die Aufnahme in den galaktischen Klub vorbereiten sollen.
Vielleicht sind Ufos unbemannt Es gibt noch eine andere Möglichkeit: Vielleicht sind Ufos auch unbemannte „Von-Neumann-Sonden". Benannt sind sie nach dem ungarischstämmigen USPhysiker und Computerpionier John von Neumann. Es handelt sich um autarke Maschinen, die exakte Kopien ihrer selbst herstellen can. With their help the human race (or an other intelligence) to explore the galaxy. Instead of sending each solar system discovered its own probe, you start only a Von Neumann probe to the next system, where at least two copies of their own work and send them to other stars.
course, there will be long before the signals reach the probe fleet to Earth, but as time grows, the amount of the returned information to exponentially - and with it the knowledge of the Milky Way. Since the information transfer is limited by the speed of light, such a project must go but over many generations. Perhaps
hiss such probes, sent from a distant civilization, through the atmosphere and send back their impressions of the trip to the sender. Are UFOs but manned spacecraft, it is lucky that its occupants kind and wise and not malicious invaders. Otherwise, there would probably long ago no people, and the earth would, as portrayed in some films, tramp armies of intelligent locusts. Or ET would take possession of the earth and put the humanity (or their sad remains) in reserves, so as we did earlier in the conquest of other continents with the inhabitants did and sometimes still do.
Not only for this Therefore, it is still a long way until we are a worthy member of the Galactic Club.
call for demonstration in Berlin on Saturday, 22 September from 14.30 clock
call civil rights nationwide to participate in a demonstration against excessive surveillance by industry and government on. On Saturday, 22 September 2007 concerned citizens in Berlin under the motto "Freedom not fear - Stop the surveillance mania" take to the streets. Meet at the Pariser Platz (Brandenburger Tor) at 14.30 clock.
the surveillance mania is rampant. Government and businesses register, monitor and control us more complete. No matter what we do, who we speak or take phone calls, where we are going or with whom we are friends, for which we are interested in what groups we are committed - The "big brother" government and "little brothers" from the business know it more precisely.
With the retention of telecommunications and online searches of computers more stringent security and surveillance powers are on the insatiable political agenda. This causes the increasing electronic recording and monitoring of the entire population does not have better protection from crime, costs millions of euros and threatens the privacy of innocent people. Where govern fear and activism, focused and sustained action to improve security as well stay on the track like a tackling real, everyday problems of people (eg Unemployment and poverty).
Moreover: Who feels constantly monitored and observed, can no longer use an impartial and courageous for his rights and a just society. It gradually formed an uncritical consumer society of people who have "nothing to hide" and against the state - to give up their liberties - for alleged guarantee complete security. Such a society, we do not want!
To protest against security mania and excessive surveillance, let's go on Saturday, 22 September 2007 in Berlin under the motto "Freedom not fear - Stop the surveillance mania" on the road. Meet at the Paris Platz (Brandenburger Tor) at 14.30 clock. The protest march through the city will lead among other things, the Alexanderplatz, before it will end with a big final rally at the Brandenburg Gate.
We call on all citizens to participate in the demonstration. The politicians should see that the people go for their freedoms back on the road! On the demo site (http://www.FreiheitstattAngst.de) are found in each case the latest information on the demo to travel options and opportunities to help.
Our demands
first Less monitoring
We call
no total logging of telephone, mobile phone and internet (data retention),
no secret searches of computers,
stop the video surveillance of public space, no automatic face control,
stop of biometrics and RFID chips in identity cards and passports,
no retention of airline passenger data,
no automatic license plate matching on public roads.
second Existing surveillance laws to the test set
We demand an independent review of all laws adopted since 1968, monitoring their effectiveness and harmful Side effects.
third Stop for new surveillance laws
After the homeland armament of the last years we demand a moratorium on new draft legislation in the field of internal security, where they are connected to further restrict civil liberties.
Since Friday the 11th May, at Deutsche Telekom, the largest provider of telecommunications strike in Europe. So far, involved up to 16,000 workers per day on the nationwide strike action. Previously, 96.5% had voted for the telecom workers Verdi members in the ballot for the strike. But what are the reasons for this first strike since the privatization of the group 12 years ago?
Die Deutsche Telekom will die Servicebeschäftigten und MonteurInnen aus den Sparten Call Center, Technische Infrastruktur und Technischer Kundendienst ausgliedern. Das würde für 50.000 Beschäftigte ca. 4 Stunden mehr Arbeitszeit in der Woche und 9% weniger Lohn bedeuten. Bei den Verhandlungen zwischen dem Unternehmen und der Gewerkschaft vor der Urabstimmung zeigte sich, dass die schlechtere Bezahlung und die längeren Arbeitszeiten nicht einmal zu einer relativen Sicherheit des Arbeitsplatzes beigetragen hätten, denn das beste Angebot der Telekom war ein Kündigungsschutz von nur drei Jahren und ein genauso langer Verzicht auf den Verkauf dieser Sparten.
Es handelt sich demnach these strikes do not primarily a struggle against the loss of jobs, as with most other strikes in recent years, but a defensive struggle against the threat of deteriorating working conditions. Such defensive actions are also urgently needed, because in the wake of discussions about job losses and massive unemployment in recent years, the working conditions deteriorated dramatically. The 345 € Unemployment benefit 2 turn out to be an effective threat of even the most poorly paid job or unpaid Parktikumsplatz accept to work for less money, or other special payments, such as to dispense with Christmas and holiday pay. No wonder that "our" Economy is booming, if we need villains to ever worsening conditions and for less money longer.
That the telecom, despite millions in profits, their employees at lower wages will have to work longer, shows clearly what the workers represented by capital. The ideology of the social market economy, said that the economic interests of the employers and the welfare of wage earners do not face. But it is different, in reality, the wages of workers, a cost factor to the profit maximization of the company stands in your way. Thus is the reward for the wage earners of living with which they must cope, but at the same für das Unternehmen eine Profitschmälerung. Denn der Zweck eines Unternehmens ist nicht die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen, wie es uns jeden Tag aus den Medien entgegenschallt, sondern die Erzielung möglichst hohen Profits.
Die einzelnen Unternehmen befinden sich im permanenten Konkurrenzkampf miteinander, deswegen müssen sie versuchen ihre jeweiligen Waren billiger als ihre Konkurrenz herzustellen und dabei Kosten zu senken. Die Unternehmen können die anderen Kostenfaktoren wie den Ölpreis oder die Höhe der Steuern nicht direkt bestimmen und so wird meistens das flexible Kapital, also der Lohn, gesenkt. Die Telekom versucht also nicht aus bösem Willen oder aufgrund der Unfähigkeit through with the management of the threatened cuts, but she is forced, if they do not want to go down in the general competition to keep costs down. These laws and their social consequences are inherent to capitalism and no excesses like "predator-or turbo-capitalism". For this reason, a decent life for all possible even beyond the logic of capitalist profit and we should finally start to think about a world in which human needs are paramount and not the almost obsessive collecting of the value. to prevent
The only sensible way to the threatened deterioration is the power struggle with the company record and make clear that the resistance of the workers caused so much cost that it is not worthwhile for the company to maintain the cuts. Telekom has recognized this and tried by outlawing the strike, scabs premiums and the hiring of temporary workers to quit. The attempts by the telecoms to break the strike, however, demonstrate only that the workers are on the right track with this.
Not only the employees of the Telekom are faced with the threats to their living conditions faced in other telecommunications companies such as Siemens, Nokia and Arcor, the workers' struggle against the intentions of the respective capitalists. These struggles, which are carried by the same interests, be conducted but at this time still fragmented and isolated, would be much stronger if they were out in solidarity with each other. Only through practical solidarity in the struggle to get each group the power they need to win this. And only in such a conflict, and the proceeding therein processes can occur any idea of what a world is possible without exploitation, alienation and isolation.
Nach 5 Wochen Arbeitskampf bei der Telekom haben sich die Tarifparteien in dieser Woche auf einen "Kompromiss" geeinigt. Dieser sieht harte Einschnitte in die Geldbeutel der Beschäftigten vor und bedeutet eine Verschlechterung der Arbeitsbedingungen von 50.000 Beschäftigten in den neuen Servicegesellschaften.
So müssen die rund 50.000 Beschäftigten dort, schon ab dem 1. Juli, vier Stunden pro Woche länger ohne Lohnausgleich arbeiten. Ihre Tarifgehälter sinken um 6,5 Prozent. Der Konzern nimmt den Beschäftigten so zwischen 500 und 900 Millionen Euro aus der Lohntüte.
Bis Ende 2010 wird dieser Einkommensausfall noch abgefedert: In den ersten 18 Monaten erhalten die Beschäftigten einen vollen Ausgleich, der dann bis Ende 2010 auf einen Zuschuss von einem Drittel sinkt.
Außerdem vereinbart wurde, dass der Samstag in Zukunft als normaler Arbeitstag gilt und auch "leistungsbezogene Elemente" bei der Bezahlung miteinfließen.
Ein lang gehegter wunsch der Telekom um so für mehr Konkurrenzdruck unter den Beschäftigten zu sorgen.
declaration of solidarity with the FAU-colleagues in Munich
Am 18. Mai 2007 fand in München eine Solidaritätsdemonstration für die streikenden Telekom-Beschäftigten statt, zu der ver.di aufgerufen had. Participated in the demonstration of the anarcho-syndicalist trade union colleagues, "Free Workers Union (FAU), Amper Kliniken including members of the operations group.
undertook the course of the demonstration, the deputy director of ver.di Munich, Ernst Edhofer to urge the colleagues of the woman from the demonstration. Under penalty of detention by the present police colleagues were forced to leave the demonstration. The workers then went sideways with the demonstration until the final rally.
We find this treatment unbearable and colleagues see this as a violation of democratic principles, the basics any trade union work are - even by ver.di. FAU is a democratically organized labor union. Like Verdi, she enters a society in which people live in dignity and free of existential fear and oppression. Serious differences of opinion about how this goal can be achieved and the economic structures necessary for its implementation are. If such disagreement is not respected, then the target itself can not be achieved.
We express our solidarity with the colleagues of the FAU and call on the management of Munich, the Verdi Verdi federal board to publicly to distance from the action Ernst Edhof at the demonstration in Munich and the FAU recognition as a legitimate part of the trade union movement.
Without agreement in conflict with contract to the employees affected by the plans Telekom transferred to existing companies and the local, but also work on earning himself negotiated collective agreements. Some of these are even worse than in the recent telecom proposal offered. Already the first July threatened the employees affected this forced change jobs. Telekom had threatened the employees this step several times, he is also a "worst case" for the telecom, da so noch gravierendere Konflikte geradezu provoziert werden und so auch in bestehende Belegschaften getragen werden die bisher nicht übermäßig von den Auseinandersetzungen betroffen sind.
So droht auch verdi für diesen Fall mit der Ausweitung des Streiks bis weit in das zweite Halbjahr hinein. Verdi Sprecher Schröder sagte am Dienstag: "Dann werden sich die Menschen erinnern, dass auch dort Tarifverträge kündbar sind."
Auch in dieser Streik-Woche, der Vierten mittlerweile, legten am Dienstag den 5.Juni nach Verdi-Angaben abermals bundesweit rund 15.500 Beschäftigte ihre Arbeit nieder. Im Landesbezirk Berlin-Brandenburg streikten rund 1.700 Beschäftigte, in Bayern 2.000, in Niedersachsen-Bremen 1,700. In Baden-Württemberg 1,300 workers were off work in 1300 Hessen and North Rhine-Westphalia 2400. In the country districts ver.di Rhineland-Palatinate / Saarland strike 1,200 in state district Sach-sen/Sachsen-Anhalt/Thüringen 2000, North 1,200 employees.
The strike at Deutsche Telekom's three weeks from the start continue undiminished in size. The strike the trade union Verdi, Ado Wilhelm, said on Friday: "Nationwide, participate again today around 14,000 people in the labor struggle," had affected the service as well as the call center. Solo in Berlin and Brandenburg were on Monday, June 4, 2500 employees called a strike. The Union threatens to widen the strike if the company submits a new offer.
In five rounds of negotiations had reached no agreement, the two sides. ver.di According to the union workers are set on week-long resistance. "We continue to strike until the employer establishes a new negotiating offer on the table. The employees are upset and angry," said Verdi departmental director telecommunications Hessen Brigitte Reinelt on June 1, in an interview with Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) .
Reinelt reportedly shows the strike in Hesse already great effect, even if the company is playing down the consequences: "There are about 70,000 Entstörfälle and 150,000 customer orders from the call centers that are not processed. "Because of the storms and heavy rains in recent days as in southern Hesse Brombachtal-Birkert sometimes even larger areas are separated from the telephone network.
Meanwhile, Telekom announced the restructuring of the Group . July 1, if need be implemented without an agreement with the service union's response Reinelt: "The employer will have to do well in the new companies with us. We will announce further strike and collective agreements. The Telekom blocked completely. The board signaled a willingness to negotiate, while outwardly, but puts no other offer on the table. "
Nationwide, more than 13,000 telecom workers are on strike
Once again the strike call by the United Services Union (Verdi) on Tuesday followed more than 13,000 employees nationwide. For Wed 30 May is a nationwide Solidarity planned. Verdi: "Never have a DAX company launched such a brazen attempt to worsen the income and employment of its employees, while over 3 billion euros have been distributed to the shareholders." Telekom was only a precursor for disputes in all other sectors of the German economy, says the call on Friday verbreitet wurde.
Im ver.di-Landesbezirk Berlin-Brandenburg streikten rund 2.700 Beschäftigte, in Bayern 2.400, in Niedersachsen-Bremen 1.600. In Baden-Württemberg blieben 1.800 Beschäftigte der Arbeit fern, in Hessen 1.600 sowie in Nordrhein-Westfalen 2.200. In den ver.di-Landesbezirken Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar streikten 1.300, im Landesbezirk Südost 1.100 sowie in Nord 150 Beschäftigte.
Die Vereinte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft (ver.di) wird die Streiks bei der Deutschen Telekom von Montag an deutlich ausweiten. „Das ist eine Reaktion auf das ungeheuerliche Verhalten der Telekom, die unsere streikenden Kolleginnen und Kollegen rechtswidrig unter Druck setzt”, erklärte ver.di-Streikleiter Ado Wilhelm am Sonntag.
So seien in mehreren Fällen Beschäftigte, die ihr Grundrecht auf Streik wahrgenommen hätten, mit Kündigung bedroht worden. Zudem würden Führungskräfte vermeintliche Noteinsätze anordnen, die tatsächlich jedoch gegen bestehende Notdienstregelungen verstießen. Auch werde versucht, Streikbrechereinsätze über Leih- und Zeitarbeitnehmer zu organisieren. „Wir haben die Telekom vor dieser Form von Eskalation gewarnt. Jetzt wehren sich die Beschäftigten auf ihre Weise”, sagte Wilhelm.
Am ersten Streiktag bei der Deutschen Telekom haben sich am Freitag bundesweit 11.100 Beschäftigte beteiligt. Ab Montag morgen, sechs clock early, nationwide total of 14,000 employees to call a strike.
contrast, Deutsche Telekom wants to outsource more than 50,000 employees in significantly worse conditions. In this case wages should be reduced by nine percent and longer working hours at least four hours and three zero wage round will be enforced. charged loss and redistribution of the workforce would add this to more than 40 percent.
Telekom offers those willing to work during the strike allowances
The union says workers will pay the telecoms a premium of 300 euros if they do not participate in the strikes. In addition, Deutsche Telekom wants to mitigate the disruption of the operation by the use of temporary workers and the "use of working time accounts", as the company said.
Ver.di strike leader Ado Wilhelm berichtetevon disabilities in the three-day strike vote, as well as threats to strike the willing. Thus, a head of department said: "Too bad I'll have to dismiss all of the ballot to"
After the strike vote at Deutsche Telekom have more than 11,000 employees in call centers and service set out in their work.. Focus of the first strike day was about 3,000 participants of North Rhine-Westphalia, where the strike some 50 cities covered. were
in Bavaria from the early shift rund 1400 Telekom-Mitarbeiter in den Streik getreten. "Beim technischen Kundendienst und der Einrichtung neuer DSL- oder ISDN-Anschlüsse ist es in ganz Bayern zu erheblichen Verzögerungen gekommen", sagte der bayerische Streikleiter Helmut Doser.
Im bayrischen Weiden in der Oberpfalz traten um sechs Uhr 120 Beschäftigte der Frühschicht in den Ausstand
In Düsseldorf waren 300 Mitarbeiter im Ausstand. In Berlin traten 1000 Telekom-Mitarbeiter in den Streik. Unter anderem waren darunter die Techniker, die die Netze der Telekom bauen, pflegen und reparieren, wie Ver.di-Fachbereichsleiter Mike Döding sagte. Dies bedeute, dass die Service-Leute nicht kämen und der Außendienst nicht arbeiten könne.
In Hamburg traten rund 450 Telekom-Mitarbeiter in den Streik.
Ver.di wants G8 summit in Heiligendamm not bestreiken
Beim anstehenden Arbeitskampf bei der Deutschen Telekom will ver.di nach Aussagen ihres Streikleiters Ado Wilhelm den G8-Gipfel in Heiligendamm Anfang Juni nicht gezielt bestreiken.
Allerdings könnten Telekom-Niederlassungen in der Region, die für das Treffen die Infrastruktur aufbauen, punktuell vom Ausstand betroffen sein, sagte er in Bonn. Hierdurch könnten sich bei der Einrichtung der Informations- und Telekommunations-Infrastruktur für den Gipfel Verzögerungen ergeben.
Konzernchef René Obermann droht der Belegschaft mit dem Verkauf von Service-Sparten "Wenn es zu keiner Lösung mit der Gewerkschaft kommt, we may be forced to sales of service lines to get the costs under control, "said Obermann, the Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
According Verdi spoke: Jan Jurczyk the sale of service companies, however, is" unlikely because they are the operational heart of the Telekom. "
Verdi continued the strike continued at the weekend. are affected, according to Verdi nationwide emergency services and call centers.
The Telecommunications expert of the CDU, SPD and FDP, which said" Tagesspiegel am Sonntag, "she support the planned staff restructuring. "It's about making the jobs competitive, thereby ensuring long term," said the parliamentary secretary der CDU, Martina Krogmann
Die Gewerkschaft Ver.di hat heute Mittag einen Streik bei der Telekom angekündigt. In einer Urabstimmung sprachen sich 96,5 Prozent für einen Arbeitskampf aus. Ver.di will so die geplante Auslagerung von 50.000 Mitarbeitern in eine Servicegesellschaft verhindern. Nach den Plänen der Konzernführung sollen die Beschäftigten dort länger arbeiten und weniger Geld verdienen.

ideas for a beautiful life? prevent useless construction projects on the river Spree!
advertises with beautiful colored spots and thick catalogs with great opportunities for young and old, and for every budget source for ideas for a better life. But for many of the source group to pay the company not at all to a better life far from it. Since the returns are by mail order in recent years fallen sharply, as is so often have to turn the workers to believe that negative to make up for that. This also happens at source by reducing labor costs, consolidation of the work and more pressure on the workers. arises Here in Kreuzberg in the media spree At the moment the new source communication center with 1,000 jobs, which will fit into the glitzy new media spree the world to investors of the project as envisioned. is but the whole thing less beautiful than announced by Mayor Wowereit, he claimed at a campaign event in view of the source plans: "Coming soon, an investor will further 1,000 jobs to bring"

Also not that the working week increased from 38 to 42 hours of leave entitlement falls heavily, holiday and Christmas bonuses and savings schemes should be deleted. Significantly, this is according to the company have 20% of the workers, the new contracts are not accepted. the same time, working in a call center in Nuremberg, the source 800 people there for decades, partly and are therefore terminated even gotten better wages and having to adapt to much worse conditions again. Source will make the two call centers for customer service and replace it with a new tight. The staff in the new source call centers to significantly earn less: 1100 to 1450 € gross per month, this is common in the industry.
This attack, the attempt to extend the working time is running, not only in call centers, but also in other offices, in shops and factories. Call centers are part of this society to decide in the profit and not the needs of the workers about work, work equipment and their product. is interesting of course another connection between the hype surrounding the project Media Spree and the reality of working at least for the partners of the great media spree project. Call Center were and are an attack on the refusal of many BueroarbeiterInnen to accept a deterioration in their conditions (in banking, insurance, postal, telecom and other Buerobereichen). Call Center, which means for many workers, longer working hours, forced to shift work, time control and work intensification. Work in call centers, that is sometimes stressful, sometimes boredom, friendliness and forced Stakeout customer, for too little coal, and many hours of life the job. why we want you here an admittedly gain insight into the working of such a phone slaves

Added to then come the special offers of the week whether the individual in a client, the phone also not to be missed, with the telephone operators kompetente Entscheidungshilfen zwischen Kopfkissen und Radiowecker anbieten. Es gibt sehr strikte Formulierungsvorgaben, die bis auf die Verkaufsgespräche alles minutiös vorschreiben. Dabei handelt es sich sowohl um ziemlich lange Sätze (»Frau XY, ich bedanke mich für Ihren Anruf und wünsche Ihnen noch einen schönen Tag«) als auch um Antwortformeln selbst für kleine Anfragen (etwa der Kundennummer). Dadurch hat man kaum Chancen, flüssig zu sprechen. Die Arbeit ist insgesamt langweilig und eintönig. example, there is in the new premises the entire area on one level. In the middle of the bar area, the plan for the control and planning of customer care is arranged, ie the workers here are centrally monitored, it can be overheard conversations and, of course, checked and analyzed the results.
