In the event of a planned extension of the working hours of the officials in Berlin, the Association of Officials criticized the decision. The government plans to increase the weekly working time from 40 to 42 hours, which has led to resentment among the officials. The Association of Officials emphasizes that the performance of the officials would decrease during a longer working time and this could lead to a deterioration in working conditions.

The government's decision to extend working hours was hit after intensive discussions. The financial situation of Berlin and the need for savings in the household was particularly pointed out. Nevertheless, the Association of Officials sees this measure critically and calls for a comprehensive examination of the effects on the civil servants.

The association plans to negotiate with the government in order to discuss alternatives to extend working hours. Suggestions to improve working conditions and to ensure the performance of the civil servants should also be brought in. It remains to be seen how the government will react to the association's demands.
