Unemployment has shot up many times over. While many of us who still have jobs are forced to work during a pandemic, without a hazard allowance, sick leave or even affordable health insurance, others are faced with wage cuts or even redundancies. We find ourselves in a frightening and unpredictable time in a degrading social system where the profits of a few have priority over the common good. Whether we as workers* prepare ourselves to overcome this pandemic and the upcoming economic crisis and to fight back is in our own hands. And those of our colleagues around the world.<\/p>\n

If we organize ourselves now, we can protect ourselves, our loved ones and our community from getting sick, losing our homes and getting into debt. By staying organized, we can also use our strength to fight together for a better world: a world where no one is superfluous and where everyone can develop freely according to their needs.<\/p>\n

Experiences<\/h3>\n

Basically, we assume that power can be built up in the workplace and in our social environment primarily by passing on fighting experiences and anecdotes. Because those who are outraged do not know how they*\/she* translate into counter-power. We therefore attach great importance to the documenting the stories <\/a>of colleagues*. You will find here many stories<\/a>. The Corona pandemic also produces special conditions, of course, which make us find new ways. You can find some examples here.<\/p>\n
