But class struggles have already become tougher in recent years, just think of the introduction of the 12-hour working day and the \u201ereform\u201c of the health insurance funds. It is almost inevitable that trade unions will have to show a more combative face if they are no longer able to strike a balance at the green table. At the same time, they not only represent interests, but also embody an ideal, the ideal of solidarity and equality for all.<\/p>\n<p>However, the appeal of these ideals to the working classes has also suffered in recent decades. Under these circumstances, how can we once again be the generally recognised, authentic voice of ordinary people and renew the ideal of solidarity? And what lies ahead of us in the worst economic crisis in a long time? We want to talk about all this with the President of the \u00d6GB.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GENIAL DAGEGEN online Zur Lage der arbeitenden Klassen in \u00d6sterreich \u00d6GB-Pr\u00e4sident Wolfgang Katzian im Gespr\u00e4ch mit Robert Misik \u00fcber Sozialstaat, Gewerkschaften und Solidarit\u00e4t in der Krise Wolfgang Katzian ist seit zwei Jahren Pr\u00e4sident des \u00f6sterreichischen Gewerkschaftsbundes (\u00d6GB) und wuchs gerade in den letzten Krisenmonaten in die Rolle der starken, volksnahen Stimme der arbeitenden Klassen hinein.
