Become a member – Allgemeines Syndikat Göttingen

As a self-organized trade union, we rely on active members who support labor struggles, pass on knowledge, and take on mandates. Passive members are also important for the FAU because it is the monthly membership fees that make it possible to fight together in the first place. And if there is a problem at work, passive members often become active members.

Benefits of a membership

Support in your labor conflict.
Legal protection in legal disputes arising from your work and trade union activities.
Regular training courses on workplace organization, labor law, trade union work and political theory.
