Thanks to everyone for your support, especially the employees who came to the meetings, and @verdi_TKIT_BB + @IGMetall_Berlin for supporting on short notice. Now we will focus on organizing fair elections inside N26, so you may not hear from us. Worker's rights are good for all!
The N26 Operations GmbH has elected a works council: Congratulations to all elected members! I truly believe that employee participation and representation is a key element towards building an even stronger N26 culture. I am looking forward to co-creating the future of N26!
We believe that #VotingMatters. Our @N26US employees have been given time off to perform their civic duties in the upcoming election - we encourage all our US users to do the same. #Election2020 💪
Companies be like: “amazing perks like a laptop, kicker table and a fridge full of soft drinks and beers”
Sure, cool. But these are neither amazing nor perks.
Instead, how about talking about your remote/flexible hours/parental leave/diversity/healthcare policies?
Both election dates have been announced. N26 Operations Works Council Election will be on 9-10 November, and N26 GmbH votes on the 30th of November and the 1st of December.
@jwildeboer Unfortunately Management has put a lot of pressure on employees, when this should have been a simple process. We have recieved countless messages from fellow colleagues of support but also that they are scared of retribution.
N26 has filed another restraining order to prevent today's Electoral Board Selection for N26 GmbH, this time against the union ver.di. As such, IG Metall has stepped in to chair today's meeting. It will take place at the same venue, with the time delayed so people can make it.
The signatories of the Electoral Board Selection invitation will comply with the court injunction, and not hold the meeting. Consequently, ver.di has volunteered to chair the meeting instead. It will happen at the same time and place as originally planned.
N26 has filed a restraining order against the Employees who initiated the Works Council process, to stop the Electoral Board Selection meeting from happening this friday. More to follow.
Management, after failing to convince the initiators to cancel the Electoral Board selection in favour of an unproposed alternative, is now pressuring for cancelling due to health concerns. The meetings were planned carefully to be compliant with Berlin Health and Safety rules.
