After a marathon two-day round, the ufo cab union announced the agreement on saturday. The employers had substantially improved their offer at short notice and had responded to all the union’s points, said ufo chairman nicoley baublies in bad honnef near bonn. "The threat of industrial action is off the table" and germanwings customers can fly off on vacation with peace of mind.

The managing director of the lufthansa subsidiary, axel schmidt, said: "we have gone to the limit of what is possible for us with our offer to the ufo cabin union."The compromise is very close to the demands of the cabin crew union, but does not jeopardize germanwings’ competitive ability.

The details of the agreement now reached still have to be set out in a new collective bargaining agreement in the coming weeks. It provides, among other things, an improvement of the salary holders over a period of two years in three stages by almost 6 percent. Part of the increase is dependent on the improvement in earnings at germanwings. Additional one-time payment of maximum 1500 euro. The lufthansa subsidiary employs a good 700 flight attendants, more than half of whom are unionized, according to ufo.

Bavaria’s economics minister hubert aiwanger (freie wahler) has given up his opposition to the construction of the crude new power lines suedlink and southeast-link to bavaria: "i see the federal republican decision and can do nothing about it", aiwanger said after a cabinet meeting focusing on energy policy. Until now, aiwanger had been counting on the increased expansion of decentralized energy generation in bavaria to prevent the construction of the new electricity highways after all.

Explosives for the coalition

The head of the free-choice party can at least chalk up as a success the fact that the federal government has now abandoned the controversial "P44" pipeline connection from thuringia through parts of upper franconia to grafenrheinfeld (district of. Schweinfurt) wants to waive. This waiver also applies to the "P44 mod" alternative routes discussed. The "P43" coalition planned line from mecklar in hesse to grafenrheinfeld is also now to be built as an underground cable project. These two decisions are a success of current bavarian negotiations in berlin and "a massive relief for lower franconia", aiwanger finds.

The power line issue had previously been seen as a potential explosive for the coalition between the CSU and the free democratic party (FU). In contrast to aiwanger, minister-president markus soder (CSU) had always declared the new nationwide electricity highways to be indispensable for bavaria. "Bavaria is not blocking the route expansion", soder also emphasized after the cabinet meeting at a joint press conference with aiwanger. His government commits itself "without ifs and buts" on suedlink and southeast link: "we need these routes, but we have achieved significant improvements for the citizens", the minister president praised. The fact that aiwanger is now supporting this course shows "strategic flexibility" of the bavarian coalition.

His book on decency in difficult times came at the right time. A bestseller, not by chance. Of course, axel hacke is not only concerned with exposing indecent behavior in politics. But also, left and right.

Haven’t we long since become a society in which – taking into account the fact that each age defines its own concept of decency – basic values such as proper behavior have long since gone by the wayside?? It’s bad enough that this very question comes up again and again. Especially, as now again, with the afd.

Now the lamenting may begin – about exclusion and prejudice. Always with the aim of somehow turning the offenders into victims after all. Especially in the social media. Just there, where a number of commentators seem to have long since abandoned not only all sense of decency, but also all good spirits. So let’s take a closer look at what it means: decency is more than just respect – although even that was enough for an elected representative of the people to put up with critical remarks about the politics of his own party. Decency also means sensitivity, correctness, maybe even humanity. All of which are qualities that we should demand of our politicians in particular.

The media interest is great, and so is that of the guests: the two SPD district chairmen stefan sauerteig (coburg city association) and carsten hollen (district SPD) registered over 70 registrations in advance, and television crews had also announced their intention to attend. Simone lange, the woman who wants to replace andrea nahles as chairwoman of the SPD, makes her only appearance in bavaria this friday evening, at the gasthof sauerteig in rodental.
On sunday, the party congress will take place in wiesbaden, where – if the party board has its way – andrea nahles will be elected SPD chairwoman. Simone lange declared her candidacy in february out of protest, as she recounted in her one-hour speech: because nahles, not yet a member of the party executive committee, was to become acting chairwoman at that time, even though that is not possible under the party statutes. "If we don’t take our statutes seriously, how can others take us seriously??" Simone lange asks the attentive and mumbling audience in the packed hall.
An alternative to andrea nahles – that’s also what michael busch wants. "I don’t want a ‘pippi-longstocking-on-her-face’ chairwoman – and neither do many other members", says the district administrator and state parliament candidate. Of course it’s normal for the incumbent board to propose a candidate, busch stresses. But internal party democracy includes the possibility of an opposing candidacy, and he is glad that simone lange is taking on this undertaking. "Ware i was 15 years young, i had organized myself what simone lange is doing now." So he just directed them to upper franconia, got the last possible appointment. Still in the late evening, simone lange continues her journey from rodental to frankfurt.
"When I’m national chairwoman", this sentence comes up several times when she talks about the need for the SPD to renew itself, to find a program again that will convince voters. In dark blue pantsuit and white sneakers, she speaks freely and with concentration. Her theme is the party, which needs to regain credibility. 18 percent of the vote is not a good perspective, and simone lange, a police officer for 15 years, diagnoses fear in her party of further slippage.
She wants to fight this fear, she says. Members should not only be consulted on the rough coalition and all other possible questions, but also on the question of who should take over the chairmanship, she demands and earns loud applause. The party members had to "define goals," says. "Time for justice, the slogan with which the SPD entered the 2017 election campaign with martin schulz "is not a goal, but a state that I can achieve if I define and implement the right goals!" She received more than 50 requests for appearances after her candidacy, 20 of which she accepted, she said. For them, it’s tests whether they meet the mood in the party.
Apparently already. "You are the personified hope bearer", says michael busch after her speech. The votes of the upper franconian guests who came to the sauerteig inn on that friday evening were probably secure. But of the listeners, only three were delegated to the party conference: the two district chairmen carsten hollein and stefan sauerteig, and jonas merzbacher, mayor of gundelsheim in the district of bamberg. He declares even before the evening begins that he will vote for simone lange, stefan sauerteig and carsten hollein do so afterwards.
She had the support of her base: "you are the better solution for a renewal of the SPD, says gerhard leerfeld, longtime party member and chairman in untersiemau. Michael busch recalls his own first county council campaign: "you don’t stand a chance. Use it."

Following the european ruling on the recording of working hours, german economics minister peter altmaier sees no need for action in germany for the time being. The CDU politician warned against additional bureaucracy for employers and employees.

"The ruling points in the wrong direction," altmaier said in berlin on tuesday. "It is the wrong way to reintroduce the time clock everywhere."According to the current legal situation, there is already a comprehensive documentation system in germany that can be used to measure daily working hours. Criticism from the SPD.

Altmaier said the economics ministry would closely examine the ruling of the european court of justice (eugh) and commission a legal opinion to determine whether there was any need for action at all. "We want to and must protect the interests of employees, but we must not create an excessive bureaucracy."
