They worked for the city administration or in the forest cemetery: Refugees should be better integrated by working for the city.
Fürstenfeldbruck - But the wages for asylum seekers make future employment almost impossible. The Committee on Integration, Social Affairs, Youth and Sport (ISJS) has now unanimously decided not to create any more jobs.
"It is more than understandable that one does not want to do the hard work in the cemetery for 80 cents an hour," said Integration Officer Willi Dräxler (BBV) at the most recent committee meeting. In the 1990s, wages were almost normal and, above all, prospects for asylum seekers. Some even got a full-time job with the city at the time. Today a takeover is unthinkable, criticized Dräxler.
The city council sees the blame for the misery in the government's labor market policy under Gerhard Schröder - at that time the one-euro jobs were introduced - and in the decision of the former SPD labor minister Andrea Nahles. In 2016, she restricted the wages for refugees to 80 cents. The reason for this was that the many asylum seekers are only used in their reception facilities anyway and therefore have hardly any expenses.
The committee therefore agreed that it is currently not feasible to offer refugees and asylum seekers jobs in urban facilities with a material expense allowance of 80 cents. Mayor Erich Raff regretted the move. “We would have loved to continue. There would also be a need for urban gardening. "
