Shoulder to shoulder

Schulter an Schulter

Shoulder to shoulder

With you, for you.

You keep our society running

Social services are not a "system" – they are people.

Whether home help, mobile care or rescue service: You are there when others need you. Every day. Reliable. Indispensable.

What you do is more than a profession

You come into people's homes.
You provide security when everyday life can no longer be done alone.
You help, care, listen, comfort, save.
You work in wind and weather. Early in the morning, late in the evening, on weekends.
You take responsibility – often where no one else is looking.
You make the difference. For every single person you look after.

It doesn't work without you

You and your colleagues are the foundation of our care system.
Without you, care would collapse.
Without you, help would be lacking where it is most needed.

And yet your work is often seen too little.
Too little recognized.
Too little protection.

It takes more than warm words

The burden is increasing.
The shortage of staff is growing.
The conditions are often not fair.

One thing is clear: Your work is indispensable – and it deserves respect, protection and fair pay.

This question concerns us all.
And the answer starts now.

Shoulder to shoulder – with you, for you

The trade union vida Wien is at your side.
We are committed to ensuring that your work gets the recognition it deserves:

  • better working conditions
  • fair wages
  • more staff and relief
  • more visibility in the public eye

Because your voice counts. And because we are stronger together.

Become part of the movement

Do you work in social services?
Then you're not alone.

Schulter an Schulter

Shoulder to shoulder – with you, for you.

Together we can make a difference.
Together we make visible what has long been clear:
It doesn't work without you.
