Aufruf zur Gedenkkundgebung am 30.10.2026

17 Uhr Fährstraße 42-44 Wilhelmsburg
20 Uhr U4 Überseequartier am Grasbrookpark

Das Subunternehmer-System bringt Verderben und Tod!

Jetzt verschwinden die Körper der Toten auch noch. Anfang Juni 2026 starb Ahmed D. bei Abbrucharbeiten auf einer Baustelle in Wilhelmsburg. Er war aus Ägypten nach Deutschland gekommen und arbeitete für ein Subunternehmen. Um den Unfalltod zu vertuschen wurde sein Körper in einen Wald in Rissen verschleppt.

In Erinnerung an ihn halten wir am 30.10.26 eine Kundgebung vor der Baustelle ab. Als Ausdruck unserer Verachtung wie Baustellen und andere Produktionszweige organisiert sind, versammeln wir uns erst in Wilhelmsburg und fahren danach zum U-Bahnhof Überseequartier.

Hier starben am 30.10.2023 5 albanische Kollegen bei einem Unfall auf der Westfield-Baustelle. Die zweite Kundgebung dort in der Nähe der Luxus-Mall wird an sie und einen weiteren gestorbenen rumänischen Bauarbeiter erinnern.

Die Subunternehmerketten sind tödlich, weil das Risiko von großen Generalunternehmen ausgelagert wird an kleinere Firmen, die einem viel größeren Konkurrenzdruck ausgesetzt sind. Die Löhne sind hier niedriger, die Arbeitsbedingungen oft katastrophal. Gerade migrantische Arbeiter*innen zahlen hierfür mit schlechterem Lohn, ihrer Gesundheit oder mit ihrem Leben.

• Sichere Arbeitsbedingungen auf dem Bau für alle!
• Streiks bei schweren Unfällen!
• Mehr Lohn, weniger Arbeitshetze!
• Schluss mit den Subunternehmerketten!
• Kontrolle von Firmen statt Illegalisierung von Arbeiter*innen!
• Keine weiteren Toten!
• Offene Grenzen anstelle von Abschiebung und Abschottung!

!نظام التعاقد من الباطن يجلب الخراب والموت

20:00، خط U4، محطة Überseequartier عند Grasbrookpark

والآن بدأت حتى جثث الموتى تختفي. في بداية يونيو/حزيران 2026، توفي أحمد د. أثناء أعمال الهدم في موقع بناء في فيلهلمسبورغ. كان قد جاء من مصر إلى ألمانيا وكان يعمل لدى شركة متعاقدة من الباطن. وللتستر على حادث الوفاة، نُقلت جثته إلى غابة في ريسن

تخليدًا لذكراه، سننظم تجمعًا يوم 30.10.2026 أمام موقع البناء. وتعبيرًا عن ازدرائنا للطريقة التي تُنظَّم بها مواقع البناء وغيرها من قطاعات الإنتاج، سنجتمع أولًا في فيلهلمسبورغ، ثم نتوجه إلى محطة مترو الأنفاق أوبرزيكوارتير

هنا، في 30.10.2023، توفي خمسة من زملائنا الألبان في حادث وقع في موقع بناء ويستفيلد. وسيتذكر التجمع الثاني، الذي سيُقام بالقرب من مركز التسوق الفاخر، ذكراهم وذكرى عامل بناء روماني آخر توفي

إن سلاسل التعاقد من الباطن قاتلة، لأن الشركات العامة الكبرى تنقل المخاطر إلى شركات أصغر تتعرض لضغط تنافسي أكبر بكثير. الأجور هنا أقل، وظروف العمل غالبًا ما تكون كارثية. ويدفع العمال والعاملات المهاجرون خصوصًا الثمن، من خلال أجور أقل، أو صحتهم، أو حياتهم

!ظروف عمل آمنة في قطاع البناء للجميع


!إضرابات عند وقوع حوادث خطيرة!
أجور أعلى، وضغط عمل أقل

!
ضعوا حدًا لسلاسل التعاقد من الباطن

!مراقبة الشركات بدلًا من تجريم العمال واعتبارهم غير قانونيين

!لا مزيد من الموتى


!حدود مفتوحة بدلًا من الترحيل والعزل الساعة

The subcontracting system brings destruction and death!

5 p.m. Fährstraße 42–44, Wilhelmsburg
8 p.m. U4 Überseequartier, at Grasbrookpark

Now even the bodies of the dead are disappearing. At the beginning of June 2026, Ahmed D. died during demolition work at a construction site in Wilhelmsburg. He had come to Germany from Egypt and worked for a subcontractor. In order to cover up his accidental death, his body was taken to a forest in Rissen.

In his memory, we will hold a rally in front of the construction site on October 30, 2026. As an expression of our contempt for the way construction sites and other branches of production are organized, we will first gather in Wilhelmsburg and then go to Überseequartier U-Bahn station.

Here, on October 30, 2023, five Albanian colleagues died in an accident at the Westfield construction site. The second rally, held nearby the luxury shopping mall, will commemorate them and another Romanian construction worker who also died.

Subcontracting chains are deadly because the risk is outsourced from large general contractors to smaller companies that are exposed to much greater competitive pressure. Wages are lower here, and working conditions are often catastrophic. Migrant workers in particular pay the price through lower wages, their health, or their lives.

• Safe working conditions in construction for everyone!
• 
Strikes after serious accidents!

• Higher wages, less pressure at work!
• 
Put an end to subcontracting chains!
• 
Control companies instead of criminalizing workers as “illegal”!

• No more deaths!

• Open borders instead of deportation and exclusion!

Sistemi i nënkontraktimit sjell shkatërrim dhe vdekje!

Ora 17:00, Fährstraße 42-44, Wilhelmsburg
Ora 20:00, U4 Überseequartier, te Grasbrookpark

Tani po zhduken edhe trupat e të vdekurve. Në fillim të qershorit 2026, Ahmed D. vdiq gjatë punimeve të prishjes në një kantier ndërtimi në Wilhelmsburg. Ai kishte ardhur nga Egjipti në Gjermani dhe punonte për një nënkontraktor. Për të mbuluar vdekjen e tij në aksident, trupi i tij u dërgua në një pyll në Rissen.

Në kujtim të tij, më 30.10.2026 do të mbajmë një tubim para kantierit të ndërtimit. Si shprehje e përbuzjes sonë ndaj mënyrës se si organizohen kantieret e ndërtimit dhe degët e tjera të prodhimit, do të mblidhemi fillimisht në Wilhelmsburg dhe më pas do të shkojmë drejt stacionit të metrosë Überseequartier.

Këtu, më 30.10.2023, pesë kolegë shqiptarë humbën jetën në një aksident në kantierin e Westfield. Tubimi i dytë, pranë qendrës tregtare luksoze, do t’i kujtojë ata dhe një tjetër punëtor ndërtimi rumun që humbi jetën.

Zinxhirët e nënkontraktimit janë vdekjeprurës, sepse rreziku transferohet nga kompanitë e mëdha kontraktuese te firmat më të vogla, të cilat përballen me një presion shumë më të madh konkurrues. Pagat këtu janë më të ulëta dhe kushtet e punës shpesh janë katastrofike. Veçanërisht punëtorët*et migrantë e paguajnë këtë çmim me paga më të ulëta, me shëndetin e tyre ose me jetën e tyre.

• Kufij të hapur në vend të dëbimit dhe izolimit!
• Kushte të sigurta pune në ndërtim për të gjithë!

• Greva pas aksidenteve të rënda!

• Më shumë paga, më pak presion në punë!

• Mjaft me zinxhirët e nënkontraktimit!
• 
Kontroll mbi kompanitë, jo kriminalizim të punëtorëve si “të paligjshëm”!

• Asnjë të vdekur më!


Pergala peymankariya jêrîn wêranî û mirinê tîne!

Saet 20:00, U4 Überseequartier, li Grasbrookpark

Niha heta laşên miriyan jî dixwazin winda dibin. Di destpêka Hezîrana 2026’an de, Ahmed D. di dema karên hilweşandinê de li şantiyekê li Wilhelmsburgê jîyana xwe ji dest da. Ew ji Misirê hatibû Almanyayê û ji bo şirketeke taşeron dixebitî. Ji bo veşartina mirina wî ya di qezayê de, laşê wî birin daristanekê li Rissen.

Ji bo bîranîna wî, em ê di 30.10.2026’an de li ber şantiyê mîtîngêkê bikin. Em dixwazin bi vê mîtînge bertek li hemberî pergala mêtînger nîşan bidin. Piştî mîtîngê em ê biçin stasyona metroyê Überseequartier.

Li şantîye ya Westfield di 30.10.2023’an de, pênc hevalên ên Albanî di qezayekê de jiyana xwe ji dest dan. Mîtînga duyemîn, ku dê li nêzîkî navenda bazirganiya Westfiel bê lidarxistin, dê wan 5 karkerên avakirinê û karkere kî Romanyayî yê din ê ku jiyana xwe ji dest daye wê were bîr bînin.

Şîrketên taşeron dikûjin! Ji ber ku rîska ji şirketên mezin ên giştî didin ser mile şirketên taşeron. Di vê pergalê de mûç kême, şert û mercên xebatê ji gelek xerabe. Bi taybetî karkerên koçber bi mûçeyên kêmtir, tenduristiya xwe an jî bi jiyana xwe biha didin. Ji ber wê em dixwazin kû;

• Ji bo hemûyan şert û mercên ewle yên karê di avakirinê de!

• Li dû qezayên giran mafê grev ê!

• Mûçe zêdetir, zexta karê kêmtir!
• Dawîya pergala taşeronîyê!
• Kontrolkirina şirketan li şûna kêmkirina mafê karkeran!

• Êdî tu mirinek din na!

• Dersînor kirina rawestînen û sînora vekin!

Sistemul subcontractării aduce distrugere și moarte!

Ora 17:00, Fährstraße 42–44, Wilhelmsburg
Ora 20:00, U4 Überseequartier, la Grasbrookpark

Acum dispar chiar și trupurile celor morți. La începutul lunii iunie 2026, Ahmed D. a murit în timpul lucrărilor de demolare pe un șantier din Wilhelmsburg. Venise din Egipt în Germania și lucra pentru un subcontractor. Pentru a mușamaliza moartea sa în urma accidentului, trupul lui a fost transportat într-o pădure din Rissen.

În memoria lui, pe 30.10.2026 vom organiza un miting în fața șantierului pe care a lucrat Ahmed. Ca expresie a revoltei noastre față de modul în care sunt organizate șantierele și alte ramuri ale producției, ne vom întâlni la manifestație mai întâi în Wilhelmsburg, după ce vom merge și la stația de metrou Überseequartier.

În această zona, pe 30.10.2023, cinci colegi albanezi au murit într-un accident pe șantierul Westfield. Al doilea miting, care va avea loc în apropierea acestui centru comercial de lux, îi va comemora pe ei și pe colegul muncitor român din construcții care și-a pierdut viața pe același șantier.

Lanțurile de subcontractare sunt mortale, deoarece riscul este externalizat de la marile companii generale către firme mai mici, care sunt supuse unei presiuni concurențiale mult mai mari. Salariile sunt mai mici aici, iar condițiile de muncă sunt adesea catastrofale. În special muncitorii migranți plătesc acest preț prin salarii mai mici, prin sănătatea lor sau chiar prin viața lor.

• Frontiere deschise în locul deportării și izolării!
• Condiții de muncă sigure în construcții pentru toți!
• Greve după accidente grave!
• Salarii mai mari, mai puțină presiune la muncă!
• Stop lanțurilor de subcontractare!
• Controlul firmelor în locul ilegalizării muncitorilor!
• Nicio altă moarte!

Система субподряда несёт разрушение и смерть!

17:00 — Fährstraße 42–44, Wilhelmsburg
20:00 — U4 Überseequartier, у Grasbrookpark

Теперь исчезают даже тела погибших. В начале июня 2026 года Ахмед Д. погиб во время демонтажных работ на строительной площадке в Вильгельмсбурге. Он приехал из Египта в Германию и работал на субподрядчика. Чтобы скрыть факт смертельного несчастного случая, его тело вывезли и спрятали в лесу в Риссене.

В память о нём 30.10.2026 мы проведём митинг перед строительной площадкой. Выражая наше презрение к тому, как организованы строительная отрасль и другие сферы производства, мы сначала соберёмся в Вильгельмсбурге, а затем отправимся к станции метро Überseequartier.

Здесь, 30.10.2023, в результате несчастного случая на строительной площадке Westfield погибли пять албанских коллег. Второй митинг, который пройдёт неподалёку от этой роскошной торговой галереи, будет посвящён их памяти, а также памяти ещё одного погибшего румынского строителя.

Цепочки субподряда смертельно опасны, потому что крупные генеральные подрядчики перекладывают риски на небольшие фирмы, которые подвергаются значительно более сильному конкурентному давлению. Здесь ниже заработная плата, а условия труда зачастую катастрофические. Особенно трудящиеся-мигранты платят за это более низкой зарплатой, своим здоровьем или жизнью.

• Безопасные условия труда на стройках для всех!
• Забастовки при тяжёлых несчастных случаях!
• Больше зарплаты, меньше рабочего давления!
• Долой цепочки субподрядчиков!
• Контроль над фирмами вместо криминализации трудящихся!
• Больше никаких погибших!
• Открытые границы вместо депортаций и изоляции!

Taşeron sistemi yıkım ve ölüm getiriyor!

Saat 17.00: Fährstraße 42–44, Wilhelmsburg
Saat 20.00: U4 Überseequartier, Grasbrookpark

Artık ölülerimizin bedenleri bile yok edilmeye çalışılıyor. Haziran 2026’nın başında Ahmed D., Wilhelmsburg’daki bir şantiyede yürütülen yıkım çalışmaları sırasında hayatını kaybetti. Mısır’dan Almanya’ya gelen Ahmed, bir taşeron şirkette çalışıyordu. İş cinayetini örtbas etmek isteyenler, onun cansız bedenini Rissen’deki bir ormana bıraktı.

Onu anmak ve şantiyelerdeki sömürü düzenine duyduğumuz öfkeyi göstermek için 30 Ekim 2026 tarihinde şantiyenin önünde buluşuyoruz. Wilhelmsburg’daki eylemimizin ardından topluca Überseequartier metro istasyonuna yürüyeceğiz.

Çünkü 30 Ekim 2023’te, Westfield şantiyesindeki kazada tam beş Arnavut işçi hayatını kaybetmişti. Lüks alışveriş merkezinin yanında gerçekleştireceğimiz ikinci mitingde, hem o beş işçiyi hem de yine burada yaşamını yitiren Rumen inşaat işçisini anacağız.

Taşeron zincirleri öldürür! Ana yüklenici dev şirketler tüm riski, yoğun rekabet baskısı altındaki küçük taşeronlara devrediyor. Bu sistemde ücretler düşük, çalışma koşulları ise tam anlamıyla felakettir. Bunun bedelini ise en başta göçmen işçiler; düşük ücretlerle, sağlıklarıyla ve canlarıyla ödüyor.

• İnşaat sektöründe herkes için güvenli çalışma koşulları!
• Ağır iş kazalarının ardından derhal grev!
• Daha yüksek ücret, daha az iş baskısı!
• Taşeron zincirlerine son!
• İşçileri kısıtlamak yerine şirketleri denetleyin!
• Artık tek bir iş cinayetine bile tahammülümüz yok!
• Sınır dışı kararlarına ve kapalı sınırlara hayır; herkese açık sınırlar!

However, the elimination of sick leave by phone is far worse for wage earners living in one of the many regions with inadequate medical care. Here, our government is placing a completely unnecessary burden on doctors and patients instead of first doing its own job and ensuring comprehensive, high-quality primary care across the country.

Can this “reform” help reduce the number of sick days? Hardly! Anyone who drags themselves to work on Friday with a moderate cold—just to avoid the newly created bureaucratic hassle of getting a sick note—will ultimately ensure that even more colleagues are sick the following Monday and that their own recovery takes longer. Not to mention the long-term health consequences of letting a cold drag on.

What could really help? We actually have fairly good occupational safety and health regulations for businesses. However, there are almost never any consequences for business owners who fail to comply with them. Better enforcement of existing regulations in the workplace would be a measure that could truly help improve health.

For example, if an employer fails to take effective measures to protect workers from the heat, workplaces may have to be left empty on hot days. This could lead to a learning effect by next year and help prevent serious health consequences from working in extreme heat. However, it is clear that we cannot rely on the government in this regard!

For example, if you’re discussing ways to network more effectively within your workplace to advocate for your interests, or if you’re an individual who wants to get involved in a union and share ideas, please feel free to contact us!

Disclaimer: This is not a statement on the Middle East conflict. It concerns the interpretation of local events, as well as how we interact with comrades and the manner in which criticism of other positions is expressed.

For several years now, the Rote Flora has repeatedly been the target of hostility and attacks. These attacks do not come from right-wing groups, but from groups identifying as left-wing within the anti-imperialist spectrum. The reason for this is that, in the aftermath of October 7, the Flora stood in solidarity with Jewish people. Thus, the banner “Killing Jews is not fighting for freedom” became the starting point for, among other things, attacks (some of which were specifically directed at individual activists), defamation on “social” media, a short-term occupation, and accusations of racism.

Comrades who gave presentations at Flora were also subjected to online hate speech and incitement.

Even when there are conflicting viewpoints in a conflict, the very least one can do is maintain a basic level of respect for the other side. Since October 7, 2023, this has not been the case for some groups toward Flora.

The FAU Hamburg stands in solidarity with the Rote Flora and condemns the authoritarian attacks on the center.

The PSL will present an engaging overview of the history of the post-Soviet space: the development of the extra-parliamentary opposition, how the political landscape has changed since 2022, and what the left is focusing on today—both domestically and in exile.

In addition, as FAU, we will present our work as a grassroots, militant union and explain why real life only begins with collective action and union membership.

With this event, we aim to identify areas for collaboration and launch joint initiatives. This is precisely the focus of the joint closing workshop included in the program.

Implementation is scheduled to begin in April 2026, subject to final approval by the Hamburg Parliament. We refuse to accept this and, in light of the imminent implementation, are calling on everyone to take to the streets together on March 21 at 12 pm. We call on the Hamburg City Parliament to withdraw the planned reintroduction of routine inquiries by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution!

Protecting democracy cannot be ensured simply by submitting a request for information to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. At a time when resilience and the promotion of democracy are needed more than ever, this law cannot be the solution. That is why we urge you to join us in speaking out and let us make it clear just how important civic engagement is!

We send our solidarity to our rebellios comrades in Spain!

The CDU plans to target ALL farmworkers; the IGG says, “Not with us!”

On February 26, 2026, according to media reports, the CDU party convention in Stuttgart voted² unanimously in favor of a motion to deny foreign seasonal workers the minimum wage. This is an attack on the wage levels of all workers in the industry. The trade union initiative IGG-FAU condemns this latest move and is threatening nationwide actions. It has been calling for a €15 minimum wage for all workers in the industry since 2025.³

Jasmin Hofer, a spokesperson for the IGG: “With its attacks on the retirement age, the 8-hour workday, part-time regulations, sick leave, unemployment benefits, and much more, the CDU is increasingly positioning itself as a party opposed to the rights of all wage earners. Now German workers are being pitted against foreign workers. But experience shows that when wages fall for one group, the overall wage level falls for everyone. Incidentally, this is happening in the very industry that feeds us and where there are constant complaints about a shortage of skilled workers.”

“Ultimately, no one who voted for this motion should be allowed to buy asparagus or strawberries anymore,” said Hofer, “but for now, we’re planning other union campaigns against the party. We’re also keeping a close eye on the SPD as a coalition partner, of course.”

Migrant seasonal workers, in particular, account for about one-third of the agricultural workforce in Germany. They work primarily in labor-intensive specialty crops and on small to medium-sized farms. They are already among the occupational groups with the lowest pay, the longest workdays, and the highest number of (often fatal) accidents.⁴ The IGG is calling for full parity in employment conditions for migrant seasonal workers, including social security, wages, and labor rights. In its policy statement, the union voted in May 2025 to fight for a minimum wage of €15 for all workers in horticulture, forestry, agriculture, and environmental professions.
