And as always: the office is open every Friday from 6–9 p.m. Come by, network, get involved. The class struggle doesn’t take a holiday.
Das Seminar beleuchtet die Schnittstellen von Arbeits- und Sozialrecht – praxisnah und gewerkschaftsorientiert. Themen sind unter anderem: Arbeitslosengeld, Sperrzeiten, Abfindungen und deren Anrechnung, Entgeltfortzahlung versus Krankengeld sowie unterschiedliche Beschäftigungsformen wie Mini-/Midi-Jobs oder Scheinselbstständigkeit.
