GEW Members at International Schools:

Information and exchange on important GEW topics such as German Industrial Law and Codetermination (Mitbestimmung), job security, managing tensions in the relationship with management, contracts and/or agreements around pay and conditions, and much more are the focus of these two days.

In addition, the role of the GEW within Works Councils and its tasks should be examined (where does the GEW stand, what is its position?).
We would also like to exchange experiences and promote mutual networking in a relaxed atmosphere.
