We, the Initiative for Green Trades (IGG), are part of the Free Workers’ Union (FAU). We work to improve our working and living conditions in agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, forestry, and environmental professions.
In June, alongside our regular counselling and our open Lokal hours every Friday from 6pm to 9pm, we have two special events in store for you: on 5 June, there will be a talk (in German) on the history of the FAUD Berlin – covering the struggle against fascism from 1929 to 1933 and the resistance against the Nazi dictatorship. This will be followed immediately by the IWW Organiser Training 101 (in English) on 6–7 June, which will cover practical organising methods and trade union strategies.
Workers of the Live-event-company „36 Stage XL GmbH“ are confronting their management about unsafe working conditions. The self-organized workplace group within the labour union FAU Berlin is demanding improvements regarding workplace safety and stable contracts. So far the only response from 36 Stage XL is silence.
The upcoming labour law seminar will focus on the topic of protection against discrimination. The seminar will be led by lawyer Selina Sellemerten and will provide a basic understanding of what constitutes discrimination under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).
It’s the most important time of the year again! Everyone who wants to relax a little bit before or after the demonstrations on the 1st of May is welcome to join our BBQ at the Lokal. Apart from that, we offer the very exciting Organizing 4 Power Workshops at the beginning of May and our usual meetings.
These days, German policy is clear: reintroducing conscription, limitless military spending, and talk of “readiness for war.” But resistance is also growing.
In the talk “From Militarization to Military Service — Lessons in Resistance from Israeli Civil Society,” Or, a conscientious objector and activist from the Israeli organization New Profile, reports on what we can learn from those resisting militarization, conscription, and war.
