How does the election work?

In the election, 14 seats are allocated – that means 14 colleagues are elected to the works council.

There are three factions running. Depending on how many votes a faction receives, it is allocated a corresponding number of seats.

The faction with the most votes appoints the chairperson of the works council for the general university staff.

What does the works council actually do?

The works council represents the interests of all employees in the general staff.

It works to ensure that our rights in the workplace are protected and provides support in the event of problems. Our goals are based on your needs.

Works council members are often the first point of contact when there are problems or uncertainties. We are familiar with the legal framework and can support you or refer you to the appropriate person if necessary.

Why your vote is important

With your vote, you help decide who will stand up for our rights, fair pay, health in the workplace, and better work-life balance in the coming years.

So: Go vote and help decide who represents your interests!
