Press comment: ‘Schwäbische Zeitung’ on increasing the minimum wage

RAVENSBURG (dpa-AFX) – “Schwäbische Zeitung” to increase the minimum wage:

“The unions and social organizations are raging. Comments on the proposed increase in the minimum wage to EUR 12.41 range from “fatal decision” to “a bad joke”. In fact, the increase of 41 cents in January 2024 and more is expected 41 cents a year later, at first glance, quite modest. Nevertheless, the recommendation is a good one. It shows a sense of responsibility and a sense of proportion. The proposal brings the employees concerned at least a certain increase in difficult times. At the same time, it takes into account the situation in the sectors that depend to a large extent on simpler activities. After all, no one is helped if entire business models become obsolete as a result of too strong an increase Bones.”/yyzz/DP/nas
