Minimum wage debate: CDU warns of working losses through political interventions!

Berlin - The debate about the minimum wage heats the minds! The CDU/CSU parliamentary group urges the negative consequences of a political minimum wage. The labor market policy spokesman Stephan Stracke and the economic policy spokeswoman Julia Klöckner make a clear position: An increase in the minimum wage to political commitment could have fatal effects on jobs and the entire wage structure!

The current study of the Institute for Labor Market and Vocational Research shows that higher wages could endanger jobs, especially in the low-wage area. In current economic uncertainty, Germany cannot afford to find wage politicization, warns Klöckner. They criticize the SPD sharply, which could start a dangerous trend with populist demands, such as a minimum wage of 15 euros. According to Stracke, tariff partners should decide and not the politics to secure the stability of our working world - an appeal that the Union takes seriously!
