They also demand 6,5 % higher pay.

Barbara E., store cashier of a Kaiser's store speaks about her dismissal. She was dismissed because she went on strike and because she defended herself against the harassments which the striking employees where confronted with. Now it is claimed that she stole vouchers for 1,30 Euro.
