Garbsen – The legal dispute between the former caretaker of the Caroline Herschel secondary school Martin von der Werth and the city of Garbsen has still not been resolved. We reported
GCN called the lawyer Michael Falke from Garbsen:
Accordingly, the lawyer has submitted a settlement offer to the city – the city of Garbsen should receive an amount of 25,000 euros from Werth and continue to work until June 2021. This offer was rejected by the city.
In the context of the legal dispute, however, a completely different matter came into focus. Is it possible that the cleaning work for the schools in Garbsen, for example, could be awarded over a period of more than 20 years without a mandatory public tender always to the same cleaning company? With reference to the pending proceedings, the city did not comment.
Caretaker von der Werth always unlocked the building for the cleaning staff in the morning, but according to his statements he received no remuneration and worked more than the agreed 39.5 hours. When he demanded the overtime, he was dismissed without notice. We reported
After the caretaker’s dismissal without notice, the students also stood up for von der Werth and protested against the dismissal, unfortunately without success (we reported). In the next round of the process, a cleaner is to testify how the morning procedure took place, probably in May 2021.
The more than 10-page complaint should also state that some of the wives of caretakers at Garbsen schools have concluded a mini-job contract on a € 450.00 basis with the city of Garbsen to compensate for the husbands’ extra work. There was no such regulation for von der Werth and his wife.
Now it remains to be seen how this process will proceed and whether the question of a possible failure to submit public tenders on the part of the city of Garbsen can be clarified.
