Hamburg
Members of the Free Workers’ Union (FAU) and Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) Hamburg participated in two rallies:
1. “Wer hat der gibt” (Who has gives), 1 pm, Eppendorfer Baum.
2. black-red May Day, 4 pm, Hagenbecks Tierpark (zoo)
At the start of the demonstration at 1 pm the mood was good, the sun was shining and speeches demanded a distribution of wealth from top to bottom, as well as a continuation of the Germany-wide 9-Euro ticket for public transportation.
FAU and IWW carried international labor struggles into the public with leaflets and banners. The Garment Workers’ Trade Union Center (GWTUC) in Bangladesh is currently fighting for a minimum wage of 25 000 BDT (approx. 215 Euro) for textile workers and we want to help to globalise the fight. Through the international supply chains, we here in Europe are also responsible for the working conditions of the garment workers who sew the clothes that we buy here cheaply at H&M, Zara and Co. The GWTUC released a call for international support.
The demo with around 3000 people led through a noble district at the northern end towards the city center. The route was suppose to reach Dammtor, but the demo was stopped about 1 km ahead by cops, because some participants wore masks and that was considered as mummery. Since we wanted to join the second rally in time, we left after waiting for more than 30 minutes.
The black-red May Day rally at Hagenbeck’s zoo has thematized the history of the zoo at the opening of the rally: Even up into the 1950s, people from Africa were exhibited here as “savages” and – according to the speech – also sold for experimental purposes.
Here, too, we from FAU and IWW took the ongoing labor struggle in Bangladesh to the streets.
However, the demo did not get far. Directly at the first turn, the cops stopped the around 1000 participants: Again, masks, or mummery were the argument. After some negotiation the anarchists removed the banners in question as well as their sun glasses, but that wasn’t enough for the cops. In the end the rally was broken up after 2.5 hours of waiting. Without warning riot cops suddenly attacked the rally with battons and kettled a bigger part of it. Several people were injured. Only the entrance to the subway remained open, which is why we ended the action and left.
Hundreds of riot cops were present, incl. water cannons, horses, dogs, a helicopter and at least one sweeping tank – as if civil war is about to break out. In the end several protesters were injured due to state violence. One person was pushed by cops that his head hit the floor and was severely injured. He is currently still in hospital. We wish him good recovery!
Fortunately none of us were victim of physical police violence. As far as we know no arrests were made.

A consistently loud block with two clearly visible banners and FAU flags attracted a lot of attention. At 1pm the group went back together to be at the beginning of the street party of the Gasparitsch district centre in Stuttgart East. In a very well attended short lecture FAU Stuttgart presented the union with practical examples. Afterwards, at shortly before 5 pm, comrades went for a short, fast but also loud and visible rally to Ostendplatz.

Once at the forum square, I spoke on behalf of Uppsala LS, a person from Queer Aid, a representative from the Roja committees and one from Allt åt Alla (All for All).
