We are committed to all employees in building management

  • Employees in building cleaning companies
  • Pest controllers
  • Caretakers
  • Employees from security services 

We demand for you

  • No lone duty in guard duty: No security employee should have to perform the service alone. It takes at least two people to be protected in dangerous situations.
  • Better working hours: The duty hours should not be extremely long, such as 12-hour shifts in guarding. At the same time, more full-time jobs must be created, especially in cleaning.
  • Occupational safety and equipment: It should be a matter of course that safety equipment such as shoes should be provided by employers, especially in workplaces that require special physical stress.
  • Fair pay: Employees in security and cleaning deserve adequate remuneration for their challenging work, including night bonuses and fair wage increases as part of collective bargaining negotiations.
  • Visibility and appreciation: The work of cleaning and security staff, as well as pest controllers, should receive more recognition. In order to increase appreciation in society, they must be made visible.
  • More day work: Shared shifts are a burden, especially for women in cleaning. With more daytime cleaning, you promote visibility, social participation and also language skills of cleaning workers. 

For me, it is immensely important that there is someone who represents the interests of the employees. And that is the trade union.
