Profile
We represent the interests of RWU employees to the university administration.
We work together with the representatives of the severely disabled, the trade unions Verdi and GEW, and in several working groups with other staff councils. Our activities are based on the Baden-Württemberg Staff Representation Act (LPVG-BW).
Our Tasks
Our key responsibilities include
- monitoring compliance with applicable laws for the benefit of employees,
- regulations, collective bargaining agreements, operating agreements and administrative orders,
- reviewing proposals and complaints from employees, and
- making proposals and suggestions for the benefit of the Department and its dependents.
Our Activities
Depending on the issue, Staff Council work requires extensive research, thorough training, and good communication. Our regular activities also include
- staff council meetings, typically weekly
- staff meetings, usually annually
- (partial) staff meetings on specific topics, often in conjunction with the Staff Council of the Weingarten School of Education
- office hours for employees, see "Contact & People" tab
