Our demands
We work and study in a chronically underfunded educational and academic system, which prevents good research, learning and working conditions. This autumn it’s down to us! As part of the collective bargaining round of the federal states (Länder), together we are fighting for a significant pay increase to address the rise in cost of living and for better employment relationships. Together, we demand an end to precarious working and studying conditions. We need a turnaround in education!
As staff and students, we are campaigning together for fundamental structural improvements and more appreciation:
Inflation compensation for ALL!
We university employees and students are fighting for higher wages in the collective bargaining round of the federal states and demand a significant increase in BAföG rates! BAföG needs structural reform and rates, which are sufficent to live on!
TVStud now! An end to precarious working conditions in academia!
Short contract durations, serial fixed-term contracts and co-determination-free zones must be abolished! We need a fundamental reform of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG), a nationwide collective agreement for student employees (TVStud) and real co-determination rights through the inclusion of student employees in the staff representation laws of the federal states.
Proper funding of research and teaching!
Good research and teaching need stable basic funding, independent of external and project funding. We will no longer allow ourselves to be cut to the bone!
Let’s stand up and take to the streets united: All together now! Whether taking action on campus, (supporting) staff going on strike or collecting signatures for the petition #StopptDauerbefristung (End serial fixed-term contracts) [find the digital version here: http://weact.campact.de/petitions/stoppt-die-dauerbefristung-in-der-wissenschaft].
