  2. It's been so long since I mailed a physical letter that I had to look up mailbox locations on OpenStreetMap for the village I moved to. Even with a cold, I made the trek today because it was for the Red Hat Germany Works Council election. Democracy is important, and every single vote counts. 🗳️

    Dear colleagues,

    We cordially invite you to the 68th Solidarity Meeting in Wedding.

    Topic: Works Council Elections 2026

    At our March Solidarity Meeting, we want to focus on the works council elections, which will now take place from 1 March to 31 May 2026.

    In Germany, works councils are the body responsible for co-determination within the workplace. In social work organisations, there are often no works councils, or very few that are militant.

    Let’s exchange views on the works council elections across organisational boundaries, fill in the gaps in our knowledge together, support one another and discuss how we can establish more militant works councils in social work.

    What’s your works council like so far? Are you standing for election this year? How are preparations going in your workplace? Are there divisions or conflicts?

    Similar recommendation for Germany:
    Join a union ("Gewerkschaft") and found a works council ("Betriebsrat") if you don't have one yet.
    Unions can and will help you founding a works council (even if you're not a member).

    While there is no dedicated tech workers union in Germany (at least none that I know of), @wirsindverdi would be a fitting union for most tech workers.

  9. 🔐 From private complaints to election results – works councils handle some of the most sensitive data in any organization. But how secure is that information, really?

    💬 Discover why encryption isn’t optional anymore – and how works councils can take back control of their digital confidentiality.

  10. Pay gap analysis is hard, hard work. Sifting through thousands of lines of data, trying to identify reliable ways to make an argument and identify correct comparisons. Salary bands, levels, job descriptions — they all need to be accounted for. In case you thought being an elected member of the Works Council in a global company is easy (at least when you decide to take your responsibility serious).

  11. And solved. We won. Deal done. Yeah. I can sleep now. Everyone involved happy. Good night :) #WorksCouncil #Betriebsrat

  12. To defend the interests of workers, you need to be a worker yourself, IMHO. That means spending a lot of time, unpaid, outside of working hours, to Get Change Done. Defending the interests of capital can be outsourced and done without losing working time or spare time.

  13. Chrisjen Avasarala before she became General Secretary is my spirit animal for getting change done. But with a Red Hat :)

  14. Today I am proud of being an elected member of the #RedHat #WorksCouncil (Betriebsrat) in #Germany. Tomorrow we have our Works Meeting (Betriebsversammlung) and we can announce good news for our associates. Also because Red Hat management truly engaged in good negotiations, listening to our concerns and working on good solutions. You can get good results in a cooperative way. It's the Red Hat way :) Shadowman approves :)

  15. Tired. Many hours of negotiations. Lawyers, rules, but I think I found a good solution. The life of a #WorksCouncil member :) #Betriebsrat

  16. The German #union Verdi - @wirsindverdi - has set up an all new website in #English that informs workers of their basic rights in Germany and on how to form a #WorksCouncil

  17. I’m apparently going to be on a panel in October, and moderating another. How do I get convinced to do these things? 😂 Anyway, if you are anywhere near Berlin in October, the Tech Workers Coalition, IGMetall and Ver.di unions are hosting the annual Tech Workers Conference. #solidarity #betriebsrat #WorksCouncil #labor

  21. really proud to announce that today we called for a General Assembly at #HelloFresh.

    as of yesterday, after a gruelling 6+ months, an electoral board can finally begin their work to form a #WorksCouncil at #HelloFresh. it’s been a challenging, charged, and emotional time and I’m happy to have been a part of it. but now the real work begins!

  23. Betriebsratswahlen bei Hellofresh: Berliner Arbeitsgericht setzt Wahlvorstand für Kochbox-Versand ein. Die Gewerkschaft Verdi konnte sich vor Gericht gegen die Geschäftsführung durchsetzen.
