- The trade union federation condemns a Baden-Württemberg motion aiming to reduce bureaucracy in labor laws as a threat to worker protections.
- Concerns center on easing minimum wage record-keeping, which could increase violations that currently represent half of financial control cases.
- Proposals to switch from daily to weekly maximum working hours and allow flexible time tracking would effectively end the eight-hour workday, risking worker health.
- Expanding temporary agency work and limiting accident documentation requirements are also seen as undermining essential labor safeguards.
