More Work Without Wage Compensation at the Burgenlandkreis Job CenterThere is fantastic news to report from the district council committee meeting on the Burgenlandkreis Job Center from June 3, 2026. The excellent economic and financial policy of the federal government, still loved by many, is now also making its way into the administration. Further details can be found in the video recording. Thanks to the insufficient financial resources of the municipalities and districts, and the resulting budget freeze imposed by the municipal supervisory authority, District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) has decided that savings must also be made at the Job Center. Administrative costs are to be reduced by more than 800,000 euros. This is to be achieved through personnel cuts. Positions are initially not to be refilled, and further ideas are being discussed. 800,000 euros likely correspond to the salary and non-wage labor costs of around 12 employees. With a remaining total administrative budget of about 8.6 million euros, this represents a not insignificant portion of the workforce. The review and reduction of benefits therefore has to be done more quickly. Applications and appeals will then simply remain pending for longer. A perfect win-lose-lose situation. After all, it only affects those who are already at the very bottom. Some savings are also to be made in material costs. It is possible that the font on official notices will be made a bit smaller and thinner in order to save paper and printer toner. The remaining employees can therefore look forward to working more for the same pay. Who wouldn’t be happy to give not just 100 percent every day, but 130 or 140 percent? Jörg Freiwald (Die Linke) noted that such austerity measures are often disadvantageous. When workloads increase, it is not uncommon for some people to say: “I’m not crazy enough to work for five!” and to escape this burden by taking sick leave. The sickness rate is apparently already high. The meticulous checking of where benefits can be denied to recipients seems to be a very exhausting job. It was asked whether the members of the district council have to accept these austerity measures. In response, Jörg Freiwald explained that it is up to the district council members to examine whether the Job Center remains operational under these conditions. If that is not the case, it is their responsibility to call on the district administrator to find other solutions. Jörg Freiwald said that in such cases the district administrator had already taken money from the youth committee budget. District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) simply has to set priorities when it comes to saving money and is unwilling to demand changes in economic and financial policy from the federal and state governments. Fortunately, the number of benefit recipients has decreased slightly – just a little. In this context, a song by Tobsucht came to mind. It says: “You say the main problem is it has to go faster. What am I supposed to do? Go laugh in the basement?” Perhaps the remaining Job Center employees will soon meet regularly in the basement – to rage and laugh. Depending on their mood. Further Highlights from the Committee MeetingDuring the citizens’ question hour, Mr. Sanftleben wanted to know how many Ukrainians in the district are receiving pensions and based on which regulations – Ukrainian retirement age or German. Robert Aßmann (head of the Job Center Burgenlandkreis) could not provide any information on this, as it does not fall within the Job Center’s responsibilities. After some consideration and at the suggestion of Jörg Freiwald, this question is to be forwarded to the relevant specialist committee for clarification. Mr. Sanftleben also wanted to know who issues the authorization vouchers for the food bank for Ukrainians. In Bad Bibra, according to his statements, strong young Ukrainian men are collecting food from the food bank. Mr. Sanftleben suggested that these men would probably be more needed at the front line instead.If one researches the internet at present, there are apparently considerations to revoke the protection status for such Ukrainian men so that they return to Ukraine. The consequence would likely be their conscription into the army. According to many “beloved” politicians, the war must definitely continue for quite some time. Another highlight was a question from Mr. Meißner. After long and persistent demands, he was granted access to his files held at the Job Center. Although there is a legal right to inspect files, offices, authorities, and institutions often make considerable efforts to prevent this. The files Mr. Meißner was able to inspect are partially redacted. Among them is also a document concerning criminal offenses that, according to Mr. Meißner, were committed by judges at the Federal Constitutional Court. Mr. Meißner wanted to know who ordered and carried out the redactions. Robert Aßmann explained that Mr. Meißner had already been informed of the reasons for the redactions. However, that was not Mr. Meißner’s question. Robert Aßmann appeared to be very keen on not answering precisely that question. Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | |
