To this day that company never healed from the Beamtentum and never will. Beamte are a horrible solution to anything and should only be a last resort, e.g. for the critical part of infrastructure as the railroad network. Not for the garbage companies operating on it.

Even then you do not need Beamte, you need proper laws regardless. Workers striking is mostly a good thing, even in "critical" infrastructure.

We need Beamte for judges and the like, but that's it.

For example if most teachers were not Beamte, they could strike and maybe there would be some improvements.
