Hmm. Wasn't the Civil Service Union supposed to represent civil servants and not public budgets? I must have misunderstood something...
Somehow I have the feeling that the Civil Service Union itself has no idea whatsoever what someone at pay grade A6 or lower actually receives. But of course, all civil servants are teachers and in management positions, civil service postal workers are just a figment of imagination and anyway and so on.
Particularly alarming: the board of the dbb approved it unanimously. Which means civil servants at the lower pay grades are not represented in the Civil Service Union at all.
At tagesschau im Internet there's the original article.
