German working hours law debate
The head of the German Employers' Association, Reiner Dügel, called for setting a maximum weekly number of working hours, pointing out that the current labor law dates back to the era of traditional devices and needs to be updated to align with modern laptop technology and flexible working arrangements. He emphasized that the European directive allows work hours of up to 48 hours per week, and most unions prefer to establish a maximum limit to ensure a balance between work and life, as well as to prevent exploitation of the sick leave system, which will be modified to require a medical certificate from the first day. The German government sees the need to reform the labor law, but the discussion is still open on how to achieve this in a way that balances workers' interests with system modernization.
