#16 Know your Rights - Dealing with Discrimination in the German Workplace

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s essential for anyone working in Germany: labor laws. Whether you’re a German national or an immigrant, these laws apply to everyone. We will also tackle a critical issue: discrimination in the workplace. We’ll discuss how to recognize whether you’re being treated equally to your colleagues and what steps to take if you ever face unequal treatment or discrimination on the job.

To discuss these important topics, we’re joined by Vera Egenberger, an expert with over 30 years of experience in the fields of equality, equity, and diversity. Vera currently works with the German Trade Union Confederation, the Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund.
