We're on strike!

From my office I saw the strikers, debating and worrying about the future of 50 000 workers at Telekom. The company wants to outsorce them, they are supposed to work a lot more and accept a cut of their salary by 15 %. New workers in this company will get 40 % less for doing the same job. This will be below European minimum wage levels!
So they decided to go on strike to keep the jobs and the working conditions. The first strike ever for most of them. They're fighting all over Germany. We hope they will win.
Most germans do as well: 78 % said so, german magazine "Stern" found. And the international trade union organisation UNI supports the strikes as well.
More information on the strike you'll find here and of course on the ver.di-website.
