While the Wassertr\u00fcdingen site was pretending to be all sunshine and roses with a family celebration, the company was not ashamed to use prisoners to break the strike, hired an American law firm known for its anti-union practices, fired union members and labour inspectors, and declared the union\u2019s demands and the strike illegal. The company ignored local court rulings, labor inspections, and the opinions of the Polish Ministry of Labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stuttgart.fau.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/streikfoto01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stuttgart.fau.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/streikfoto01-1024x708.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2089\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, all of this was of no use to management: On Monday, the employees were able to successfully end the dispute, which was being held with the support of the IP, with a good result!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>700 PLN(164,90 EUR) payraise instead of the 800 PLN demanded<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>a 20 Minuten payed break of the originaly 30 min one, was able to be negotiated<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>all Saturdays except one per month are recorded as overtime and not as unpaid as before<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">It turns out, fighting is worth it!

It\u2019s no coincidence that there is a large number of temporary and contract workers here, especially from Poland. Their jobs can be \u201eadapted\u201c to meet the needs of the \u201emarket\u201c without regard for the interests of the employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, too, it is necessary for all employees to take to heart the \u201esecret of success\u201c of the Gnieszno workforce: Ultimately, they were only successful through their organization in the IP, our Polish sister union.\n\nHowever, the strike in Gniezno has shown again that management is not giving the workforce anything for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Polish law, workers do not receive any pay for the days of the strike unless management subsequently agrees to pay them. The low wages are insufficient to support their families during the strike. The IP is still small and consists of workers who often earn only the Polish minimum wage.
