Vice-Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger wants to let the employees in the catering industry for longer work – this was a request of the employee, he says. The SPD is reacting, horrified.
Würzburg/München – So-slowly, the government in Bavaria after the state elections and the Christmas break shops again really rolling: On Thursday, the government members of the CSU and the Free voters in Gmund came together for the budget retreat of the Cabinet. Previously economy Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free voters) had dared to make a new advance – which brings him prompt a violent wind out of the Opposition.
Because Aiwanger seems to want. the working arrangements of the Eight-hour day softening-at least in the gastronomy “The self-employed and the entrepreneurs must work more than eight hours per day, often until deep into the night,” said Aiwanger of the Main-Post in a Tuesday Interview published. “And if workers want to, then you should not ban them.”
Longer days of work in the catering industry? SPD sees “neoliberalism at its Finest”
little love this idea meets with the country tags-SPD. “What is required here is neoliberalism at its Finest”, said economy expert, Annette Charles on Thursday. The proposal is going in the “wrong direction”.
“The whole thing is still under the disguise of ‘who wants to work longer, to sell do’ to a mockery,” added Karl. “Every employer, especially in the hospitality industry, will call these ‘voluntary’ then the likes of its employees.”
working hours extended, elsewhere, protection schemes
Aiwangers intention is apparently to extend the maximum daily working hours in catering to more than ten hours. As a substitute, a maximum working week should be introduced 48 hours, writes the Main Post. The desire for more flexibility “from the workforce,” claimed the Deputy Prime Minister. Are affected often have no full-time employees, but “citizens who want to earn a few euros.”
About longer working hours is not a debate only in Bavaria. In Hungary, a more drastic proposal of Prime Minister Viktor Orban led even led to a massive, days-long protests. Austria had in the summer, even a “Twelve-hour working day”.
