A resolution, the so-called „Palestine Authority“ would „likely“ bring into the United Nations General Assembly. Alleged content: the Israeli occupation force has to leave Palestine within a year (and therefor 58 years too late).
Now – where is the resolution?
„Wer hohe Millionenbeträge zur Befriedigung von Vorständen beansprucht, sollte sich zumindest auch für die Eisenbahner verantwortlich zeigen und durch verbesserte Arbeitsbedingungen auf Marktniveau im Konkurrenzkampf um die benötigten Fachkräfte werben“, so Weselsky. „Wir nehmen als GDL unsere Verantwortung sehr ernst und werden die Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen der Eisenbahner auch in die Zukunft hinein verbessern. Hier spielt es eine untergeordnete Rolle, ob dieser Weg noch weitere Arbeitskampfmaßnahmen abfordert, oder besser endlich mit einem verhandlungsfähigen Angebot der DB auch kurzfristig zum Ergebnis führt.“
Das Instrument des Wellenstreiks als Nadelstichtaktik sei zulässig, sagte der Vorsitzende Richter Michael Horcher. Er regte den Gang in eine formale Schlichtung an. Rechtsmittel gegen die heutige Entscheidung sind nicht möglich. Zuvor hatte bereits das Arbeitsgericht Frankfurt eine einstweilige Verfügung gegen den Streikaufruf abgelehnt.
Women around the globe marked International Women’s Day on Friday, taking part in strikes, marches and demonstrations that underscored efforts to combat discrimination and accelerate the drive for gender parity.
The event, first celebrated in 1911, traces its roots to the early struggles for equal pay and votes for women.
Mit dem dritten und angeblich verbesserten Angebot hat die Deutsche Bahn AG erneut gezeigt, dass sie ihren bisherige Verweigerungs- und Konfrontationskurs unverdrossen weiter verfolgt – von Einigungswillen kein Spur.
Die Gewerkschaft Deutscher Lokomotivführer (GDL) ruft deshalb ihre Mitglieder bei DB Cargo am Dienstag, 23. Januar 2024, 18:00 Uhr, zum Arbeitskampf auf. Danach folgen am Mittwoch, 24. Januar, 02:00 Uhr sämtliche Unternehmen der DB, inklusive der Infrastruktur, und die City-Bahn Chemnitz. Der Streik endet am Montag, 29. Januar, 18:00 Uhr.
– Die Arbeitsniederlegung durch die Teilnahme an einem rechtmäßigen Streik stellt keine Arbeitsvertragsverletzung dar und führt nicht zu arbeitsrechtlichen Konsequenzen.
– Streiks sind vorübergehende, von Gewerkschaften getragene Arbeitsniederlegungen zur Unterstützung tarifvertraglich regelbarer Ziele.
– Jedes GDL-Mitglied, aber auch jeder andere Arbeitnehmer, der vom Streikaufruf erfasst ist, darf am Streik aktiv teilnehmen, soweit keine Verpflichtung zur Ausführung von Notdiensten besteht. Die Arbeitsleistung darf aufgrund des Streikrechts und der Beteiligung an einem rechtmäßigen Arbeitskampf verweigert werden. Näheres geht aus dem Streikaufruf hervor.
– Beachten Sie bei Bedarf die Hinweise für Leiharbeitnehmer, die bei der GDL gesondert angefordert werden können.
Das Gericht hat einen Eilantrag der Bahn auf einstweilige Verfügung in erster Instanz abgelehnt, wie es am Montagabend mitteilte. „Die GDL ist nicht offenkundig tarifunfähig“, sagte die Vorsitzende Richterin zur Begründung. Die Deutsche Bahn AG zweifelt das an, hat aber in der Vergangenheit zahlreiche Verträge mit der GDL abgeschlossen.
Die GDL-Mitglieder bei der Deutschen Bahn AG, Transdev und City Bahn Chemnitz werden aufgerufen, vom 10. Januar um 2 Uhr, bis zum 12. Januar um 18 Uhr ihre Arbeit niederzulegen. Die Arbeitsniederlegung bei DB Cargo beginnt bereits am 9. Januar um 18 Uhr.
Die Verhandlungen mit der DB AG sind am 24. November 2023 wegen der Verweigerungshaltung des Staatskonzerns gescheitert, Gespräche über legitime Kernforderungen mit der GDL zu führen.
“Palestinians have called for a global strike on 11th December. Stand against the genocide in Gaza,“ urged a tweet from Palestinian Policy Network analyst Dr. Yara Hawari.
“Remember, tomorrow December 11 is a global strike day. If the politicians do not hear us, then we can strike from economic life and daily movement and we can boycott everything, we can put pressure on them to stop supporting and blessing the massacre that is happening in Gaza,“ urged Palestinian filmmaker and journalist Bisan Owda.
Israel‘s Medical Association began a 24-hour strike on Tuesday, after the Netanyahu-led coalition passed a controversial bill revoking the Supreme Court‘s authority to overturn government decisions deemed unreasonable on Monday afternoon.
As a result of the strike, hospitals across Israel are operating in „Shabbat mode,“ or on a weekend schedule, which includes emergency care only.
The Israel Medical Association has announced it will hold a 24-hour strike starting tomorrow, in response to the passage of the reasonableness law.
The forum, which includes mall chain Big Shopping Centers, Azrieli Group companies and banking institutions, called on other companies and organizations to “join the emergency step that we were compelled to take, to bring the unilateral legislation to a halt, and enter into talks [on a compromise],” according to a statement cited by Hebrew-language media on Sunday night.
The Israel Medical Association calls for physicians to head to Jerusalem tomorrow for a march and “healing the rupture in the nation” rally. The professional organization urges Israeli leaders from all sides to come together for talks to bring the country out of the current crisis.
Participants are instructed to arrive at the Chord Bridge at the entrance to the capital at 11:45 a.m., to prepare for a march to the nearby International Convention Center.

On Friday they were joined by the Israel Medical Association, which warned that hospitals and doctors could strike in opposition to the bill.
The association held emergency discussions Thursday to discuss the ramifications of the law and members agreed that “it will devastate the healthcare system and is not just a theoretical concern,” said IMA Chairman Prof. Zion Hagay.
(13 July 2023)
Over a thousand doctors on Thursday penned a letter to the union’s chair, Zion Hagay, urging him to declare a strike until the “complete trashing of the overhaul,” charging that the plans will harm “the quality of medicine in Israel, will harm patients, and undermine the great achievements of Israeli medicine.”
“We are not ready to turn into the intellectuals, scientists, and educated of Germany in 1933,” the letter read, likening potential consequences of the overhaul to the Nazis’ purge of intellectuals during their rise to power.
Das hat es in dieser Form noch nie gegeben: Aus Protest gegen unzureichende Angebote in den Tarifauseinandersetzungen für die rund 2,5 Millionen Beschäftigten von Bund und Kommunen und für die Beschäftigten von Gesellschaften der Deutschen Bahn AG legen die Mitglieder der DGB-Mobilitätsgewerkschaften ver.di und EVG am kommenden Montag (27. März) gemeinsam die Arbeit nieder. Es wird bundesweit zu erheblichen Einschränkungen in der Verkehrsinfrastruktur kommen.

In a “significant escalation” of a dispute over jobs, pay and conditions, the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union says more than 1,000 members will walk out at all seven offices in England, Wales and Scotland from 3 April to 5 May. Staff at the Passport Office in Belfast may join the strike later.
The union says the walkout will have a “significant impact” on the delivery of passports as the summer approaches.

The news follows the breakthrough in the NHS dispute on Thursday, with union leaders representing thousands of nurses, ambulance crews and other health workers agreeing to suspend further strikes while ballots are held on a new pay offer.
(17 Mar 2023)
On Friday night the Department of Health and Social Care said the British Medical Association had agreed to enter negotiations on the same terms as unions representing nurses, ambulance staff and other NHS workers in talks that concluded this week.
(16 Mar 2023)
After three months of strikes, the Government has offered a one off bonus this year of 2.5% for the best paid and 8.2% for the worst paid.
The offer, recommended by most of the main NHS unions, comes on top of the 4% increase already implemented for 2022/23.
This award had come with inflation at over 10% and had sparked the strikes.

France saw a wave of strikes against Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms on Thursday, causing disruption to trains, flights, schools and even hospitals. Polls show a majority of the French oppose the president’s measures – and analysts say maintaining public support of strikes will be crucial to unions’ chances of forcing a U-turn.
Protestors in France Saturday demonstrated for a seventh day against President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform plan, which has been widely disputed across the country since his announcement of the plan in January.
According to the Confederation of Labor (CGT), a national federation of French trade unions, hundreds of thousands of employees, young people, and retirees went on strike and protested in the streets of French cities Friday against Macron’s plan.
With demands for a full inquiry and an end to privatization, protestors marched toward Syntagma Square and the Greek Parliament, where the main body of demonstrators reached the square at around 15:00.
At the same time, the left-wing trade union faction PAME organised a separate rally and march to Parliament over the rail accident at Propylea, attended by labor organizations, federations, unions, students and pupils.

In Frankreich geht der Streit um die Rentenreform in die nächste Runde: Massive Streiks führen zu Problemen im Bahn- und Nahverkehr, Flüge fallen aus, auch bei der Müllabfuhr und an Schulen ruht die Arbeit. Die Gewerkschaften wollen das ganze Land lahmlegen.
The unions said in a joint statement that they would call for a national strike that would „bring France to a standstill“ on March 7 if the government „remained deaf to the popular mobilisation“.
Nach Angaben des Innenministeriums beteiligten sich landesweit 963.000 Menschen an den Protesten, die Gewerkschaften sprachen von 2,5 Millionen Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern.
The protests are a crucial test both for Macron and his opponents. The government has insisted it’s determined to push through Macron’s election pledge to reform France’s generous pension system. But strong popular resentment will strengthen efforts by labor unions and left-wing legislators to try to block the bill.
Bereits jetzt arbeiten viele Menschen in Frankreich länger als bis zum Alter von 62 Jahren, wenn sie mit Erreichen der Altersgrenze noch nicht lange genug für eine abschlagsfreie Pension eingezahlt haben. In vielen anstrengenden Berufen könnten die Menschen kaum länger arbeiten, meinen die Gegnerinnen und Gegner der Reform.
Macron begründet die Reform mit einem drohenden Defizit in der Pensionskasse.

As UNISON members continue to take strike action, the union is asking for donations to its strike fund
Nottingham NHS staff taking part in the biggest strike in the history of the service say they are suffering a ‘huge’ impact on their mental health because of their jobs.
Hundreds of nurses, healthcare assistants and clinicians took to picket lines across Nottinghamshire alongside paramedics, technicians, call handlers and other staff working for East Midlands Ambulance Service.
Here are the main public service strikes planned for the coming months, and the dates that these unions will be staging industrial action across Edinburgh.
Nurses and ambulance workers have been striking separately since late last year but Monday‘s walkout involving both, largely in England, is the biggest in the 75-year history of the NHS.
Nurses will also walk out on Tuesday, ambulance staff on Friday, and physiotherapists Thursday, making the week probably the most disruptive in NHS history, its Medical Director Stephen Powis said.
Downing Street has conceded that today‘s mass strike action will be „very difficult“ for the public.
The prime minister‘s official spokesman said it is „disappointing“ that headteachers do not know fully how many teachers will be available for work until later today.
Downing Street said 600 military personnel as well as civil servants and volunteers across government have been trained to fill the gaps in public services.
Paul Nowak, general secretary of the TUC, said a petition of more than 250,000 signatures opposing new so-called “anti-strike” laws will be delivered to Downing Street.
French protesters launched a new push Tuesday to pressure President Emmanuel Macron into dropping a pension reform plan, with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets in bigger crowds than those seen on the previous day of rallies on January 19.
From tiny islands to major cities, demonstrators poured into France‘s streets Tuesday in the latest clash of wills with the government over its plans to push back the retirement age. Labor unions aimed to mobilize more than 1 million demonstrators in what one veteran left-wing leader described as a “citizens‘ insurrection.“
Mit 67 Jahren gibt es dann unabhängig von der Einzahldauer Rente ohne Abschlag – das will die Regierung beibehalten. Die monatliche Mindestrente will sie auf etwa 1.200 Euro hochsetzen.
Die Gewerkschaften hatten zu dem Streik- und Protesttag aufgerufen. Sie halten die Reform für ungerecht und brutal.
Für den 31. Januar kündigten die Gewerkschaften einen neuen landesweiten Streik- und Aktionstag an. Bereits am ersten Aktionstag gingen bereits mehr Menschen gegen die geplante Rentenreform der Mitte-Regierung unter Präsident Emmanuel Macron auf die Straße als beim Höhepunkt der Proteste in dessen erster Amtszeit. Damals hatten sich nach wochenlangen Streiks gegen eine Rentenreform Ende 2019 an einem Tag gut 800.000 Menschen beteiligt.
– More than a million people took to the streets across France to protest against the Macron government’s plans to reform the pension system, of which a proposal to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 is among the most controversial. Macron insists the reform is needed to reform a moribund system – but some of the government’s own experts have said the pension system is in relatively good shape and would likely eventually return to a balanced budget even without reforms.
– The interior ministry said some 1.2 people protested across France, 80,000 of them in Paris. Union organisers, however, estimated the number at 2 million, with 400,000 protesting in Paris.
Rachel Harrison, GMB National Secretary, said:
“GMB’s ambulance workers are angry. In their own words ‘they are done’.
„Our message to the Government is clear – talk pay now.
“Ministers have made things worse by demonising the ambulance workers who provided life and limb cover on strike days – playing political games with their scaremongering.
“The only way to solve this dispute is a proper pay offer.
Jade McCauley was due to start a completely new job tomorrow which would have bumped her yearly salary up by £8,000.
However, the community nurse at Northern General Hospital in Sheffield had a change of due to her passion for helping patients.
The 34-year-old spoke to the Mirror on the picket line outside the hospital today.
She also raised concerns about patient safety and called on Rishi Sunak to „spend a day in our shoes“.
A meeting held this morning with Health Secretary Stephen Barclay was described as „constructive“ by one doctors‘ union leader. But Professor Philip Banfield, chair of council at the British Medical Association (BMA), said there was no mention of one-off payments for NHS staff.
„People can‘t get appointments anymore so they put off going to the doctor and when it gets worse they come to us,“ he says.
He and colleagues are also struggling with the cost of living, Mr Mistry say.
„I‘m now having to think about how much heating I have on in the house – I have it on for two hours a day now.“
Union leaders have previously argued that walkouts by staff across multiple sectors would constitute a de facto general strike, the like of which has not been seen in the UK since 1926.
Only the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has the power to call a general strike, though its legality remains unclear after laws were tightened in the 80s.
The umbrella organisation which represents the majority of trade unions in the UK has a total of around 5.5million members.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the head of Britain’s armed forces, said it would be “slightly perilous” to expect them to be used routinely in the event of strikes by public sector workers.
In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, Radakin said the use of armed forces to provide cover for striking workers would not impede operations, but suggested personnel should be allowed to get on with their day-to-day jobs.
The co-ordinated walkout was called by the three main ambulance unions – Unison, GMB and Unite.
All three are taking action on 21 December. GMB union members will go on strike again on 28 December.
Meanwhile, Royal College of Nursing (RCN) members are due to walk out for a second time on 20 December in parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, following action on 15 December.
„I work for a Class 1 railroad that implemented one of the most egregious attendance policies (Hi-Viz) that requires us to be available to work 92% of the time per month,“ he said. „If we take off one day for a sickness, we are required to [work] 14 days straight to gain points back. That is why we are fighting tooth and nail for sick days.“

President Joe Biden signed a bill on Friday that prevents 12 rail unions from going on strike next week. The president signed the bill to head off a potentially crippling supply chain disruption in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
Join Railroad Workers United (RWU), the Independent Socialist Group (ISG), and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) at a protest outside of Biden’s upcoming appearance in Boston. If you are in an organization that would like to endorse this event and is interested in speaking in support of railroad workers, contact:

Paul Bamberger, DSA: 518-860-9378
Day & Time: Friday 12/2 Picket starting 11:30am, Rally starting 12pm. Estimated end time 1:30pm.
Location: Biden will be visiting JFK Library at University Dr N, Boston, MA 02125 for an event. The picket and rally will be held at the corner of University Drive North and Colombia Point, on the parking lot side.
Devin Mantz: I voted no on the contract because we deserve more.
Adam Smithey: It does not meet the requirements for quality of life that we need. We need time to sleep, we need time to rest, we need to enjoy our lives. We don’t have any of that now.
Matt Weaver: We’re considered essential employees, and we don’t have a single paid sick day to use when we’re off. We worked through the pandemic, we were considered essential, and now it seems like we’re expendable.
Dave Manning: If a person is sick, they shouldn’t have to use all of their paid days that they had to earn the previous year before to take a day off.
Matt Morty Mortenson: We’re constantly coming to work sick and exhausted.
Reece Murtagh: We routinely work 14 hours and longer every day.
Matt Morty Mortenson: We’ve currently lost 2 BMWED members in the past two weeks and they might have been here today with us if they would have just been able to rest and reset.
“The Senate cannot leave until we get the job done, and Democrats will keep working with Republicans to find a path forward that everyone can support,” he announced on the Senate floor.
The Democratic leader began the so-called Rule 14 process on Wednesday evening to put a House-passed bill to avert the rail strike on the Senate calendar.

This overwhelming bipartisan vote in the House of Representatives makes clear that Democrats and Republicans agree that a rail shutdown would be devastating to our economy and families across the country. The Senate must now act urgently. Without the certainty of a final vote to avoid a shutdown this week, railroads will begin to halt the movement of critical materials like chemicals to clean our drinking water as soon as this weekend.
(29.11.2022)
The House has passed legislation to block a nationwide rail strike by imposing a contract that has been rejected by unions representing the majority of freight rail workers.
The deal gives the union members an immediate 14% raise with back pay dating back to 2020, and raises totaling 24% during the five-year life of the contract, that runs from 2020 through 2024. It also gives them cash bonuses of $1,000 a year.
Few other details of the deal have so far been made public. But the statement from Biden indicated that the major issue that had brought the country within a day of its first national rail strike in 30 years had been addressed in the unions’ favor.
Railroad Workers United is an inter-union, cross-craft solidarity „caucus“ of railroad workers, and their supporters, from all crafts, all carriers, and all unions across North America. We urge union railroaders to continue being active in their craft union AND to join RWU in building solidarity and strength among all rail workers. We work with union rank & file railroad workers, but we welcome yet-to-be organized rail workers as well. In addition, we actively work with other labor and community organizations on issues of mutual concern. We do not accept managers or those who oppose our principles.
