Many leaders, less workers: the leaders of Budapest are saving on the job, the City Hall scandal is going on for the first time, the commissioned real estate business is taking place in the background. The number of workers who have been fired from public utilities in the capital over the past year and a half could be over five hundred. They are the victims of a great merger, many of whom have lost their jobs after decades of employment.

The firings have been going on for more than a year at the companies in the capital affected by the big merger, during which Főtáv, the Budapest Funeral Institute, FKF, Főkert and Főkétüsz merged into BKM Nonprofit Zrt. . – writes the Metropol.

It can also be seen in the city: more weeds and garbage, less trash

According to the newspaper, it can be seen in Budapest that the city management is saving money on jobs. Spectacularly more eyes, here 3,000 trash cans were dismantled across the city. In many places, the Gaza Stream has been called a “bee pastor” so as not to have to put it in order. And meanwhile, the chaos is on the rise: the main gardeners have been complaining all autumn that they have been driven to the cemeteries to weed out, and that the streets may be covered in weeds and fallen leaves.

9 percent of workers were fired from the Budapest baths

Employees of the companies predicted the dismissals would come when they set up the gigantic mammoth company, BKM (nicknamed: Budapest Christmas Works) by merging the old big companies.

The number of redundancies in Budapest Gyógyfürdői és Hévizei Zrt. start. In parallel with the establishment of BKM Nonprofit Kft., This company became directly owned by the local government of the capital. Before that, however, 90 people, 9 percent of the workers, were laid off citing the coronavirus epidemic.

Nearly 300 chimney sweeps hit the streets

Although the local government of the capital could have kept the chimney sweeping in Budapest under its own authority until 2024, they decided to hand over the service to the disaster management from May 1, while the Main Chain only carries out chimney sweeps for a fee. The company laid off 283 employees.

“Many families’ lives collapsed”

“When the reorganizations took place, we were offered to be taken over by the disaster management or the new holding company. Then it turns out that this was only on the papers, we had to go to job interviews where several of us were rejected. Many family earners have collapsed because they have not only had a secure job for decades, but also a profession, and they have planned to retire from there, László Kabai, a master’s chimney sweep who previously worked for Főkétüsz for 30 years, told the Hungarian Nation.

We also talked to a former chimney sweep who took to the streets after 21 years and will only be in employment again on December 15th, so they were made unemployed by Christmas for months.

The municipality of the capital has resigned from us. We would have cost a lot He pointed out that the capital had taken his hand off them.

According to their information, then 23, mostly physical and mental workers, were sent from the Budapest Public Space Maintenance Ltd. (FKF). FKF therefore recognized the dismissal of 17 workers. In February of the following year, the Hungarian Nation re-ventilated the fact that in just three months the FKF was replaced by dozens of employees.

“Number of delegates does not reach the limit of collective redundancies”

According to the newspaper, the capital headed by Gergely Karácsony not only knew about the plans related to the redundancies, but also according to an internal letter instructed the company management to make sure that the number of those sent off did not reach the group redundancy limit. The FCM then issued a statement in which, although not quantified, the dismissals were acknowledged.

The new method is “stealth” layoffs

There are always only a few people sent, they do not populate empty statuses. More recently, this is how the management of the capital, Budapest, handles redundancies under the grass. While executives are negotiating “commission-based” real estate sales, Gergely Christmas does not save on their own, but on jobs and the city …

Workers learned from the press that the 154-year-old Main Garden would end

It was a big scandal, they even held a demonstration when it turned out that the Gregorian Christmas would merge the one and a half century Main Garden into the public satellite with a stroke of feathers.

– The Main Garden is a cultural institution, a professional workshop, not just a green space management body, not such a clean-up-the-street subclass. The decision is absolutely ineffective professionally, and there will be less insight, less control. This is a complete mistake in the middle of the fight against climate change! – said horticultural engineer Szabolcs Megyeri.
