solidarity with the staff of the Frankfurter Rundschau
information and discussion with workers and union shop stewards in the FR
Wednesday 2 July 20 clock in the Turkish People's House, Werrastr. 29, Frankfurt-Bockenheim
With the acquisition of the Frankfurter Rundschau by Neven-Dumont group a raw wind has moved. Over the past few years, the workforce was reduced from 1600 to 600 jobs. From July, the areas of accounting and controlling to Cologne will be relocated. The FR is to be divided into limited liability companies, no longer subject to the collective agreement for the printing industry.
came a few weeks ago it the warning strike, which followed by the employees in the printing center in Neu-Isenburg, but was defeated by strike-breaking work in Cologne and Hanover. Obviously you are doing at ver.di it hard to organize a multi-site solidarity with a struggling staff.
shows the same time in the development of FR, what their content as well as the layout is concerned, that you do not have the working conditions can independently discuss the quality of the product and vice versa. This means that the issue requires solidarity not only with the workforce, but also has a fatal media policy significance. In addition to the balance of power in the media industry in need and the shifting production processes are discussed
We want to discuss with workers the Frankfurter Rundschau on the prospects of their struggle and the possibilities of solidarity beyond the boundaries of institutionalized participation beyond. The restructuring of the media landscape and the production conditions of print media will play a role. All interested are cordially invited to participate
