An evening about our struggling mothers.🌹 📖 In the novel ‘Die Optimistinnen’ (The Optimists, 2022), Gün Tank tells the story of striking migrant workers in Germany. ✊ In 1973, Irina Vavitsa took part in the ‘wildcat’ strikes at Hella. Almost fifty years later, Agnieszka Jastrzebska (patient care) and Şükran Türgüt Özkan (ward cleaning) went on strike with their colleagues at Charité subsidiary CFM for 48 days – and fought for full TVöD wages until 2030. Colleagues at Vivantes subsidiaries are currently preparing for their fight for equal pay for equal work. 💬 The discussion and reading will focus on how colleagues experience these struggles. 🎶 Musical accompaniment by composer and multi-instrumentalist Eren Akşahin. İdil Baydar as Jilet Ayşe will be striking on site. 🌹We celebrate all these strong women – and ourselves, yesterday and today. 🍲 Followed by a free buffet and music by DJ R-ZOU. The event is organised by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation.
