Coronavirus pandemic: new measures to contain

The Berlin officials should work longer in the future. This is a measure that has become necessary due to the city's financial burdens. The Association of the Officials reacted to this announcement with mixed feelings. On the one hand, they understand the economic reasons behind the decision, on the other hand, they are worried about the working conditions and the burden on the civil servants.

The association emphasizes the importance that the working conditions of the civil servants are taken into account when the working hours are extended. It must be ensured that the officials are not overloaded and sufficient recovery times are granted. In addition, possibilities for the flexibility of working hours should also be considered in order to meet the individual needs of the civil servants.

It remains to be seen how the negotiations between the Association of Officials and the City of Berlin will run. It is important that a solution is found that takes into account both the financial interests of the city, as well as the working conditions and the well -being of the civil servants. Only through a constructive dialogue and the common finding of solutions can a satisfactory working environment be created for everyone involved.
