The strike call [German content] is aimed at employees covered by collective agreements, trainees, interns and students enrolled on a dual study programme. Student assistants are also called on to take part in a participation strike [German content](“Partizipationsstreik”).
For the University of Passau, collective bargaining autonomy and the right to strike are protected by the constitution and form an important part of our social and democratic coexistence. We respect the right of the trade union ver.di and its members to defend their legitimate interests through industrial action within the framework of these negotiations. The University of Passau is in an ongoing and constructive dialogue with both the strike committee and the Staff Council. The University of Passau is committed to fair and respectful cooperation and hopes that a swift agreement can be reached as part of the ongoing collective bargaining process.
Despite the warning strike, the University will maintain basic operations on Friday, particularly in the areas of research and teaching. According to ver.di, significant disruption to teaching activities is not expected. The refectory and cafeterias are also expected to remain in operation. However, given the time of year, we would like to point out that there may be some impact on winter maintenance services.
What does that mean for you as staff members?
If you wish to participate in the strike, please observe the notes on time recording in the attached excerpt of the industrial action guidelines. To ensure that your participation in the strike can be booked correctly afterwards, please be sure to inform your immediate supervisor.
If you do not wish to take part in the strike and intend to work regularly on that day, you can do so.
Overall, it must be expected that the University's services and facilities may not be available to their usual extent on 5 November. Therefore, please schedule any important appointments for another day of the week if possible.
