What is the DBB?
The DBB is a special kind of organization called a national trade union centre. Think of it as a large association that brings together many smaller groups of workers. These workers are often called "civil servants" because they work for the government in different jobs, like teachers, police officers, or people who work in government offices.
How the DBB Helps Workers
The main goal of the DBB is to make sure that civil servants have good working conditions, fair pay, and a safe workplace. They talk to the government on behalf of their members to make sure their voices are heard. This helps to solve problems and improve things for everyone who works in public service.
When Was the DBB Started?
The DBB was founded a long time ago, in 1918. This means it has been helping government workers for over a hundred years! Over all these years, it has grown to become one of the largest groups of its kind in Germany.
Who Belongs to the DBB?
Today, the DBB has about 1,250,000 members. These members come from many different parts of the public service. They are people who work hard every day to keep Germany running smoothly. The DBB also works closely with a group called the European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions. This connection helps them learn from and work with similar organizations across Europe.
