Press conference
The trade union vida invites representatives of the media to a press conference on the occasion of the launch of its campaign for employees in social services in Vienna. The focus is on the working realities of employees in mobile care, home help and rescue services - and the question of why a society that depends on this work still shows too little recognition.

Campaign
Shoulder to shoulder - With you for you!
The campaign makes visible what often remains invisible: the daily commitment of colleagues who work very close to people under high time pressure, with great responsibility and often under difficult conditions. At the same time, it shows what needs to change in order to create better conditions here.
