Blister On My Thumb From My Lighter

fare evasion and the "Monita" episodes

About 10 years ago, the rate at OBI-flight has begun.

But actually all started earlier deal.
We try to make clear was that the financial consequences for the individual employees in recent years:

At OBI, it was customary was paid a monthly salary with the so-called "revenue sharing". Until about 2001, was certainly so in some markets as well a few years longer. These "revenue sharing" was, depending on monthly sales between 100 and 200 DM, ie about 50 - 100 € monthly.

from "economic" reasons such payment was stopped. Temporarily as it was then, until the company is feeling better.

The same happened to the Christmas bonus, in many a market instead of the holiday pay was deleted in some markets even both.

To this was then still in many markets, increasing the working week from 37 or 38 hours to 40 hours per week.

As a result of a seller at OBI employees at the time of the above-mentioned outlet in the last Level of tariff for this period was a simple statement:

concealing collective salary through termination of collective agreements / exit from AG Association = 11.000, - €.
By increasing the working week to 40 hours (equivalent to approximately one working day per month more without pay) = 10.000, - €
This is the completely "insignificant" amount of approximately around € 20,000 (2,000 € per year) for each full-time employed market employees join the company in 2002.


As you have seen, was this not part of any Christmas or holiday pay, are not granted tariff-off payments, take no account of royalties that are not granted tariff increases for late openings, and are not granted tariff rates for overtime! Also in this bill is not considered overtime that were paid but not credited.

This money has been missing every one of us in his pay packet!
In the calculation of wage replacement benefits such as sick pay, unemployment and money, especially in the calculation of our pension missing it anyway!


For those of us who have been set far below standard rates and paid or still are, the said sum is naturally a much higher!
