The Social Insurance Union (GdS) organizes employees from the areas of social insurance ( health insurance , pension insurance , statutory accident insurance and unemployment insurance ). It has around 40,000 members. The GdS is a member of the DBB Beamtenbund and collective bargaining union .
The union has 16 state associations, including district, regional, district and local associations. Its seat is in Bonn .
The origin of today's GdS was laid in the 19th century, triggered by the imperial embassy with which social insurance was introduced in Germany. The employees of the social insurance agencies have organized themselves into several founding civil servants 'and employees' associations in health and accident insurance. The first founding took place on August 24, 1890 with the association of health insurance and trade association officials in Rhineland and Westphalia . Other associations of employees of the social security agencies took place at short intervals throughout Germany. In the following 90 years there were always new foundations and mergers as well as name changes. The GdS emerged in 1979 from a merger of the Federation of Social Insurance Officials and Employees (BSBA) in the dbb (1950) and the Association of Officials and Employees of the Statutory Accident Insurance (Verbaruv).

The organizational structure overlaps with other dbb unions , for example in the area of the Federal Employment Agency with the Vbba - Labor and Social Union . In the area of the DRV Knappschaft-Bahn-See, the transport union GDBA was also active; That was done with the merger of the GDBA with the Transnet union.
In addition to its federal office in Bonn , the GdS operates regional offices in Berlin , Wiefelstede (near Oldenburg ), Dortmund and Rheinstetten (near Karlsruhe ).
Positions
As a trade union, the GdS dealt in particular with the 2007 health reform and the reorganization of statutory health insurance through the introduction of the health fund . However, she also dealt with the organizational reform in the statutory pension insurance (reorganization as the German pension insurance), the organizational reform in the statutory accident insurance (reorganization as the German statutory accident insurance) and the organizational reform at the employment agencies .

The GdS-Jugend exists to promote youth work . It is the union of the young members of the GdS up to the age of 30. The statutes of GdS-Jugend apply to the organization and implementation of youth work.
