read Than their colleagues were in the year 2006 for better wages on the streets, remained Katharina Becker* in their patients at the bedside. Becker was not allowed to go on strike. They at the time had worked for six years at the University hospital in Essen and the same tasks as the other took exactly the nurses: blood tests, syringes, bandages. The difference is that they had no labour contract and, therefore, no work rights. She was employed by the German Red cross (DRK). So she was not an employee of the hospital, but a member of the German red cross Sisterhood.

The principle of the Sisterhood has a long Tradition in Germany. As the nurse Hedwig Countess rode up the mountain in 1875, founded the first Sisterhood of Berlin, was the idea as progressive. Unmarried women were able to exert on the composite of the Sisterhood, a professional, and thus regardless of the man in the old hedge. In 1882, Kaiser Wilhelm I recognized the Sorority as a public welfare institution. Well, 16 years later, she joined the German Red cross (DRK).

club membership instead of a contract of employment

Under the umbrella Association of the German red cross, the Association lives on. Today, there is nationwide, 31 sororities, with approximately 21,000 red cross sisters. Like Becker, they are not employed by the hospitals where they work, but members of the Association. Instead of contracts of employment n the women a kind of contract between the sending Sisterhood and the respective health facility. Your salary – usually you earn the same as their employees get red cross nurses Association. The it to the clinic.

unions such as ver.di criticise this employment ratio for years. Because without a labor contract DRC-sisters also have no workers ‘ rights. That DRC could not attend sisters like Becker for a long time to strike, is just one of many consequences. “The sisters can be in the short term, stepped down, longer working hours, as the hospital staff nurse and, at any time, from one clinic to the next to be treated”, explains Uwe Ostendorff, of ver.di is for the Department of health and social Affairs. “DRC-sisters are nothing more than Temporary workers,” he says.

In February 2017, confirmed by the European court of justice (ECJ), the Position of the trade unions: DRC-sisters are workers within the meaning of the temporary employment act (AÜG), the court found. That is to say: For you have the same rights as Temporary workers would have to apply in the car industry or in agriculture. According to the temporary employment act, temporary employees may not be awarded more than 18 months. However, the then Federal Minister of labour Andrea Nahles (SPD) intervened and created one exception: For the DRK sisters should not apply the restriction of the rental period.

The Federal Ministry justified Nahles decision on the fact that the DRC is a statutory, and international law have a special status. In case of emergency, the red cross sisters were obliged to help. Ostendorff of ver.di can’t understand this reasoning: In civil protection and disaster relief law stipulates that the DRC needs to help in the event of a crisis anyway.
