Tasks of the Student Assistant Council

The Student Assistant Council (Hilfskräfterat, HKR) at Justus Liebig University Giessen represents your interests as student assistants at the university. The purpose of the HKR is to bundle the special concerns of student employees and to create a strong voice for their rights and interests vis-à-vis the university. This includes, for example, addressing the problems of everyday working life, fixed-term contracts, pay, working hours as well as labour rights.
 
The HKR works closely with the General Student Committee (Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss, AStA), the staff council (Personalrat) and the student senate members and also seeks contact with unions, student assistant councils and initiatives at other universities as well as political actors. Major topics are the expansion of co-determination and the inclusion of student assistants in collective agreements (TVStud).
 
In addition, the HKR provides advice on questions and problems and supports student assistants in discussions, whether in the context of selection procedures, conflicts or hearings. It goes without saying that all concerns are treated confidentially.
