Too much social housing? Taufkirchen officials defend themselves against unfair pay

Taufkirchen's disadvantage due to too much social housing: A petition to the Bavarian state parliament is intended to overturn this injustice.

Taufkirchen – Due to the new regulation for civil servants' salaries in the Free State, Taufkirchen has been the only district municipality with a considerable locational disadvantage in terms of local and family allowance since April. Because the municipality has so much social housing, it slips into a disadvantageous local class – civil servants are therefore paid less (we reported).

Taufkirchen officials are defending themselves against this grievance with a petition together with Mayor Ullrich Sander (non-party). Above all, they criticize the fact that civil servants and judges do not have access to social housing anyway.

Petition against the law of the Bavarian State Parliament: Used for election campaigns

Apart from the petition, the new salary law has long been used for the current election campaign. Member of the state parliament Kerstin Schreyer (CSU) informed in a press release about her commitment to a change in the Taufkirchen local level class together with the member of the state parliament Wolfgang Fackler (CSU).

The Green Taufkirchen municipal councillors Gabi Zaglauer-Swoboda and Rudi Schwab counter, also in a press release, that Schreyer herself sits in the Bavarian state parliament where the law was passed. "Actually, one would have to assume that Ms. Schreyer knows the municipalities of her constituency and should therefore know that the average rents in Taufkirchen are relatively low because of the many social housing."

The Greens also point out that the housing benefit also depends on the respective local class – a disadvantage for all socially disadvantaged Taufkirchner. The paradoxical situation that Taufkirchen is at a social disadvantage precisely because of its many social housing units was already a topic in a video conversation with Bavaria's Finance Minister Albert Füracker (CSU), Mayor Sander, state parliament candidate Maximilian Böltl (CSU) and District Administrator Christoph Göbel (CSU). Nothing came of it.

Petition against the law of the Bavarian State Parliament: Criticism of the Minister of the Interior

Mayor Sander wants to continue to raise awareness of the issue through his contacts in the Ministry of Finance. "It would be nice if someone recognizes the problem," he says. He is also available as a contact person for the civil servants' petition. It is not only city hall employees who are affected. Together with the police union, the professional fire brigade, the state teachers' association and the German civil servants' association, he would have liked to have examined a model lawsuit. The merger did not succeed, Sander personally does not want to file a lawsuit,

His criticism is now directed primarily at Minister of State Joachim Hermann (CSU): "Our interior minister should stand up for his firefighters and police officers."
