If you intend to live in this country for a longer period of time, you should seriously consider getting politically organized – in trade unions, political groups, or, preferably, in our initiative.

We have renamed our working time calculation app – from now on it is called Workers Control! The old name “Arbeitszeit-App” was clunky and difficult for an international audience to understand.

We’ve noticed that it’s not always very easy to use our app. That’s why we want to redesign it so that it becomes super simple to use. The existing functionalities will remain in place.
