Cooperation centre, main staff council

I have been working at Carl von Ossietzky University since 2005, since 2018 as an MTV in the Office for University and Trade Union Co-operation; currently on leave as Deputy Chair of the Main Staff Council at the MWK, which I joined via the joint list of the ver.di and GEW trade unions.

I am running for the University Senate in order to continue to accompany the development of our university in a critical and constructive manner and to ensure that the interests of MTV employees are not neglected.

School IV

I have been working in School IV in the Offices of the Institute of Protestant Theology and the Institute of Philosophy since 2011. Over the past few years, I have gained a lot of experience in committee work, e.g. in two institute councils, the Faculty Council and the University Senate.

It is important to me to play an active and positive role in shaping developments at our university for us MTVs. Due to the increasing shift to the right in our society, which is also noticeable at our university, I believe that strong union representation of interests is essential.

School IV

I have been employed at the University since 2006 in School IV in the Office of the Institute of Philosophy.

I am running for the University Senate because a union-orientated representation of interests in the interests of all employees in this important body seems sensible.

Library

I have been working in the library in various roles since 1999. In my spare time I sail on the North Sea - hence the photo :-)

I joined a DGB trade union back in 1980 when I was 16. There will always be people who claim that the trade unions have outlived their usefulness and are blocking urgently needed reforms. The library has a number of works of neoliberal, national-liberal or national-conservative economics in its collection. But there are even more works that deal with socialist or social-liberal or green theories or with utopias that we urgently need. Another world is possible. At this university, we in the University Senate can also help to shape it!

Division 4, Staff Council

I have been employed at the university since 2011 as a shop steward in Division 4.
I am currently on leave of absence from the Staff Council, where I have been elected 1st Deputy Chair since summer 2024.

The University of Oldenburg only works together, and lower pay groups must not be forgotten in the University Senate either.
I would like to represent the interests of my MTV colleagues in the University Senate as the university is constantly changing.

School V / ICBM

I work as a Chem. Techn. Assistant in the ICBM at FK V. The university has been my working environment since 1979 and I have been a member of Ver.di since 1980.
In the faculty council as well as in the institute council, as MAK spokesperson and as a member of the staff council, it has always been important to me to stand up for the interests of employees.

In the University Senate, I see the opportunity to represent the interests of colleagues beyond my own personal interests.
This is about the fundamental orientation of our university and I have always found this "thinking outside the box" exciting.

School I, Chairman of the Staff Council

At the university since 2004, I have two half-time positions: LfbA in project management and study programme coordinator in C3L, where I have been on leave for the Staff Council since 2018 and Chair since 2023.

It is very important to me to represent the interests of the MTV more strongly in the University Senate. In the course of digitalisation and the planned excellence strategy, there will be many changes that need to take into account the interests of the lower salary groups in particular.
