Union: 'Dramatic job cuts' loom at Deutsche Bahn

"In return for government aid, Deutsche Bahn AG wants to save about five billion euros, including about 2.25 billion euros in personnel costs. In plain language, the implementation of this agreement between the Group and the German government means cutting far more than 10.000 jobs at Deutsche Bahn throughout Germany."The group did not want to comment on the statements on Sunday upon request. According to its own information, it employs around 211 people in Germany.000 people.

According to the paper, Hommel fears "a tough austerity policy on the backs of employees, with apprenticeships cut in half and a halt to urgently needed new hires". As after the supervisory board meeting last Friday, the trade unionist proposed an "Alliance for Employment and Mobility". Hommel said on Friday that the company’s board of management had assured him of its willingness to do so.

Although passenger numbers plummeted by about 90 percent during the Corona crisis, the railroad has barely adjusted its capacity. The German government now wants to support the state-owned company through a further capital increase. 6.9 to 8.4 billion euros could flow in the process. In addition, the federal government wants an increase in the new debt limit of currently about 25.4 billion euros.

Five points in 30 games: The relegation of the 1. FC Burk from the Kreisliga 1 came as little surprise. The team fell apart during the season. For the new season in Kreisklasse 2, however, FC will have a completely different face: In addition to the new department management around Michael Benning, the first team will also have little in common with the team from the relegation season. In the interview, Michael Benning talks about the rebuild and the goals for the near future.

Mr. Benning, FC Burk was washed out last season. That the relegation could not be avoided was clear at the latest in winter. The club started the season with optimism.
Michael Benning: The sadness was limited on the last match day, the relegation was foreseeable and anything but a surprise. The problems in the team started back in 2016/17, that has carried over seamlessly into next season. We had good names in the team, the playing quality was there to play in the top half of the table. Ultimately, it was a question of character of the players. With the exception of four or five players, all members of the first team left us during the season, and we played our last games in the district league with our reserve team. It is curious that we have done better in the second half of the season with a weaker squad than in the first half. In the second half of the season we managed to win at least one game.

Many protagonists of the past season are gone. With Rene Schweiger, he coached the U19 of TV 48 Erlangen, Burk has a new coach. How far has the rebuilding progressed??
I think we’re on the right track, especially since we’ve broadened our base within the department. Roland Sterzl is our new chairman for sports, Frank Welz and my brother Patrick are acting as game leaders. We are also well on schedule with the squad planning, but this is not yet completed. An important concern for us is that we no longer spend as much money on players as in previous years. In the long run, this has done us more harm than good.

Which players can you already announce as new arrivals??
We have nine newcomers so far and four players from the youth team. Three youth players are refugees from the 2000 vintage, who would now move up to the A-youth with the B-youth, but should already gain their experience in the men’s team. With veteran Michael Schier from Eggolsheim, we have a new goalkeeper. Thomas Gigis is 19 years old and comes from FSV Erlangen-Bruck, Yannis Kraft is the same age and last played for TV 48 Erlangen. From there also Acar Abdulamid changes to us. Marcel Huttinger joins us from SV Hagenbuchach, while we were able to convince Sebastian Kupfer and Philipp Hawelka to lace up their shoes for Burk again. With Arap Hasan and Volkan Turkmen from SC Viktoria Nuremberg we have two more new arrivals. But it should not have been the last, we are still on the search.

The Kreisklasse 2 is a very interesting league, with a lot of derbies and strong play. Where should the journey go for FC Burk?
As long as it’s not a relegation ranking, the ranking doesn’t matter. We will have a young team that is willing and shows passion, but will certainly need time to grow together. Our coach Rene Schweiger will get it right. The whole club longs for peace and stability after these two years. Let the boys have fun with soccer, and success will come naturally.

The so-called regional counters in supermarket chains promise the buyer products from the local area. Can the consumer rely on this or is skepticism perhaps appropriate?? With the healthy, since completely cholesterol-free rapeseed oil we followed the origin: Ralf and Renate Geyer from Schirnsdorf grind the rapeseed on their own farm and extract the "rapeseed oil from the Steigerwald", that ends up on the shelves of the regional counters, on bottles.

Raw material comes from the region

"Every two to three months", according to Ralf Geyer, rapeseed is pressed into high-quality edible oil in his company. The raw material comes partly from their own farm, partly from the farmers of the region. In the past, the press ran around the clock," says the Schirnsdorf native. That was before 2008, before the taxation of bio-fuel. By then, biodiesel would have accounted for about 30 percent of truck traffic. Because of the tax it is today zero and the market collapsed. Because the presses were there anyway, edible oil is now produced at the Geyer plant.
Golden yellow it comes out of the tubes with which Renate Geyer fills each bottle by hand.
The filling room is connected to the higher oil mill via pipes. Most of the cooking oil goes to the Winkler company in Kleinweisach, which markets it to supermarkets. The Geyers also sell some of the rapeseed oil in bottles or canisters directly from the farm to the consumer.

In the beginning the oil is black

Before it comes into the oil mill, the rape must first of all for four weeks "to sweat out" into the silo. "He must first recover", designates Ralf Geyer this phase. During the pressing process, the rapeseed grains run through a funnel into the oil mill – just like in any other mill. The freshly pressed oil is initially black, explains senior manager Willi Geyer. The so-called "Trubol" then passes through a chamber filter press. Because the oil is only cleaned by the sediment on the filters, a lead time must be observed.
The end of the purification process is a plate filter. Willi Geyer acquired such a filter machine from a brewer in the area who no longer needed it. Plates, similar to a coffee filter, are hooked into the device.

Cold pressed for taste

Initially white, is after filtering from the original color nothing more to see. That had worked so well that soon a larger filter was purchased.
The rapeseed oil is golden yellow and pure after the two filter runs. It is important that it is cold-pressed so that the taste and all the valuable ingredients are preserved, explains Willi Geyer. "My wife uses the oil for everything, even baking cakes." 29 degrees measured at the press. Just the right temperature so that the oil still runs smoothly.
About a third of the weight of the rapeseed makes up the oil yield. Two thirds remain as "rape cake back. It is a high quality protein feed for animals, similar to soy. "But it doesn’t have to be carted all over the world", says Ralf Geyer.
