Overview
- Protesters occupied parts of the Senatsverwaltung für Soziales for roughly a day and left peacefully after intensive talks.
- Social Senator Cansel Kiziltepe and Finance Senator Stefan Evers met protesters and lawmakers, and participants reported discussion of a temporary moratorium.
- The action challenged a plan to stop refinancing a union tariff for privately employed personal assistants and to reclassify them from TV‑L pay group 5 to group 3.
- The proposed reclassification would reduce monthly pay by about €340 and, advocates say, threatens autonomy under the employer model.
- No final Senate decision was announced, and around 150 people are affected as a commissioned legal opinion on pay differences is not due before the second half of 2026.
