Dispute over new jobs in the Osterholz district: an outcry by the citizens!

Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Deutschland - The district of Osterholz is faced with a top -up increase that triggered controversial discussions in the district council. In the coming year, 19.25 new full -time jobs are to be created after eleven new positions have been added 2024. The district council member Wilfried Pallasch from the Citizens' Group (BF) sharply criticized these decisions and pointed out the current savings plans in large companies such as VW and Ford. Pallasch noticed that in contrast to many citizens who fear their jobs, the administration could have new bodies. This led to applause from the AfD and FDP, while the district administrator Bernd Lütjen decidedly rejected this accusation and emphasized that the topping up of personnel was necessary to meet the increasing requirements.

criticism of the administration and defense by the district administrator

Pallasch called for more self -criticism from the district administration and referred to the falling population that questioned the need for additional staff. Lütjen replied that it was not a luxury program, but a reaction to increasing mandatory tasks and increasing number of cases in areas such as the payment of maintenance and housing benefit. This is necessary because the district is increasingly being burdened with responsibilities in the social sector. "The growth will not take place overnight," said Lütjen, adding that every new position was thoroughly checked. The district plans to distribute the additional forces in different areas, including finances, social affairs and order.

In addition, the job plan will control the administration to ensure that the new positions are used efficiently. As describes Allergertwernungen.de , a position is a proven office in the public service that is necessary for the fulfillment of public tasks. This means that the hiring of new employees is not only necessary to perform existing tasks, but also to meet the growing requirements of the population. The additional bodies should help, among other things, with the educational support and the digitization of the services that must meet the requirements of the online access law.
