- Philipp Türmer sharply criticizes Chancellor Merz for plans to introduce weekly work hours, which he says threaten employee protections.
- The established eight-hour workday, in place since 1918, is set to be replaced by a more flexible weekly limit.
- Türmer highlights that current maximum work hours prevent exhaustion and long-term physical damage among workers.
- Labor Minister Bärbel Bas distances herself from abolishing the eight-hour day but points to coalition agreements and calls for social partner dialogue.
Slashing the eight-hour day is not a sign of a breakthrough; it's outrageous.— Philipp Türmer, Juso chairman, said this to Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland about the planned reform of the eight-hour day.
