Berlin, Osterode, Göttingen. Rüdiger Steinbeck from Wieda / resin has suspended his hunger strike that began in December. In negotiations with the labor agency, the county, and through the mediation of the Action Alliance Social protests (Edgar Schu, Prof. Grottian) could Rüdiger Steinbeck even a social security scheme for the first ride in a school. It therefore comes from the discriminatory Hartz IV-out logic and infrastructure services in the future care of a school (Caretaker, PC-care). "Thus, Rüdiger Steinbeck successfully fought off, take part in the disastrous wage dumping by 1-euro jobs to have. He has his solidarity shown with other employed and unemployed persons and thus a gross wage fought for 10 €. What is true for him, should apply to everyone else. This is our request for a general minimum wage, "commented the mediator of the Action Alliance Social protests Edgar Schu, this first successful negotiations. The unemployed represent Germany will co-finance an old car, to facilitate the way for the new workplace.
Still, the refund of accumulated heating costs and the unacceptable living conditions in a small bathroom are in dispute. Rüdiger Steinbeck's lawyer will submit next week a proposal for mediation.
The Alliance social protests evaluates the result as success of a persistent individual fighter and his supporters, but also takes the efforts of the authorities note that the case was public become too hot. "We expect other effects of collective Actions, "said Prof. Grottian. " so from 02 April, a collective of fixed-term hunger strike against Hartz IV of 20-25 people in Berlin begin. "
Rüdiger Steinbeck appears to be very skeptical that the conflict will be resolved really. He will again go on a hunger strike if the heating costs and workplace question, but should not prove to be satisfactory solved

Press Statement of the hunger strikers No.2 01.31.2007
In the resin-Courier published a newspaper article
who claims Rüdiger Steinbeck would
his Hungerstreik_abbrechen_.
This is wrong.
It is true that the hunger strike of all
hunger strikers continued.
We hunger strikers have however made the
realities of this society
and are convincing while Rüdiger

truth" (cf. Gandhi)-related hunger strike
to that company .
These high labor
functioning society must necessarily be superior an individual hunger strikers
because
were divided responsibility so that no more responsibility in
takes over reality. Consequently, we have defined the
continuous hunger strike.
The continuous hunger strike allows the health aspects of the
to stop hunger strike and overcome by
other participants the time to

No participants
mer to suffer any real damage to our political struggle
.
We hope in the coming hours / days of the
INTERRUPTION Rüdiger
Steinbeck's hunger strike to be able to log on.
