New project aims to prepare LGBT*IQ refugees for the world of work

A network of 250 large companies has launched a new mentoring programme to prepare LGBT*IQ refugees for entering the world of work. The programme aims to give them access to new employment opportunities. The term LGBT*IQ covers people with same-sex or bisexual orientation as well as transgender, intersex and queer identities. The special support of these refugees seems to be of particular importance to the members of the initiative “Tent Partnership for Refugees (Tent)“, as people with same-sex orientation are criminalised in almost 70 countries, and in nine countries they even face the death penalty. There are no official figures,… Read More

Cheat packs: less content, same price

Customers in the supermarket have noticed it for a long time: the prices of goods are rising. Everything is getting more and more expensive—whether meat or yoghurt, crisps or sweets, washing-up liquid or hand cream. What many people don’t notice about the products they are used to: there are cheat packs that contain less at the same price. The manufacturers simply reduce the filling quantity, a trick that has been practised for years. These are hidden price increases, often in the double-digit percentage range. Customers can report cheating packages to the consumer centres. The consumer advice centre in Hamburg also… Read More

Sick leave by phone again

Patients with a mild cold can once again take sick leave by phone. Due to the large number of people infected with Corona, this possibility is valid from now until the end of November.
