Administration and Transport Union
The Administration and Transport Union (GVV) (formerly the Administrative Union (DVG) Berlin) emerged from the Berlin State Association of the German Administrative Union in the German Association of Civil Servants . This emerged from “The New Union”, which was founded in 1998.
After DVG Berlin was only accepted into the German Association of Civil Servants in Berlin in mid-2004, its deputy state chairman, Klaus-Dietrich Schmitt, submitted his own nomination in September 2004, “It's enough” for the election of the main staff council of Berlin. The election proposal 3 out of 31 votes in the main staff council in Berlin. Because of this unauthorized nomination, the board of directors of the dbb Berlin unanimously ruled out DVG Berlin by resolution of October 26, 2004.
The DVG Berlin then changed its name to The Administrative Union and on January 17, 2006, in order to avoid a possible legal dispute with the “German Administrative Union ” (member of the dbb), to the Administration and Transport Union (The Independent in Berlin) and in the register of associations register at the district court of Berlin-Charlottenburg . The union charges a monthly fee of 10 euros. It has 420 members in Berlin.
The union gained particular importance through the collective bargaining conflict at the Berlin transport companies in the summer of 2005. The BVG board of directors agreed with the ver.di and dbb berlin unions to apply the local transport sectoral wage agreement. A company group at the BVG did not accept this and called on its employees to resist. As a result, the four-member board of the operating group was excluded from gkl berlin . In the search for a new union, the administrative union has signaled its readiness to join. After around 200 employees of the Berlin transport company had already declared their membership of the union, the union was now ready to grant legal protection against the application of the local transport sector collective agreement. On December 22, 2005, two lawsuits (an employee BAT, a worker BMTG) were filed with the labor court in Berlin . For this purpose, quality negotiations will be carried out on February 9, 2006 in both cases. The appeal negotiations at the Berlin State Labor Court failed on October 23, 2006. The GVV wants to submit a non-admission complaint to the Federal Labor Court.
Due to the risk of confusion with the German Administrative Union (DVG) in the dbb in Mainz, the "Administrative Union" was renamed on January 17, 2006 at a general meeting in the Administration and Transport Union (GVV) with the addition The Independent for Berlin .
