Flood disaster Unions are calling for donations for flood victims

Towns that can now only be reached by helicopter, roads that are now only passable by boat, people clearing away debris and mud—this is the situation in many places across Germany. The labor unions are therefore calling for donations for the victims of the flood disaster.

Menschen räumen auf nach der Flut.

5 June 2024 5 June 2024


The damage in the states affected by the flooding is enormous. The DGB and its member unions express their deepest sympathy to all affected families and their loved ones. We would like to thank the many rescue workers and volunteers who have been and continue to be on the ground.
 

Show solidarity

Colleagues, families, and friends here have also been severely affected. Now is the time to show solidarity to mitigate the consequences of this disaster. Those affected need quick and unbureaucratic help. Now we must stand together and help, so that the people and regions affected have a future to look forward to.
