By eliminating the “Jahressonderzahlung”, colloquially known as “Weihnachtsgeld”, which effectively was a 13th monthly wage at the end of the year, my workplace effectively upended the minimum wage increase from 2022 and the subsequent pay raise for my pay grade, which is barely more than minimum wage anyway. God, I hate being poor. Time to organise some people.

Yeah, I am paid according to a collective agreement. And in the position I’m in, I don’t exactly have much bargaining power unless I can organise a substantial number of people.
