Dirk Ippen: The rest is silence. , . Column Policy 29 February / 1 March
Your contribution hits the nail on the head. Unfortunately, far too few articles on this situation are published. The citizens only notice when, as in your case, the nice woman dies from the snack bar.
But as you write correctly, it's not just the youngsters that are the problem, the biggest thing is politics! In our company, thank God, we have our son who is going on, but we don't know how long because precisely the problem of conditions, working time regulations and certifications swallows up a lot of time, energy and money. The Bavarian state government, which is in favor of all these guidelines, does not help the farms because we are not farmers and we did not invent the big whining.
Or can you imagine a blacksmith with the anvil, a baker with the oven, a butcher with the sausage machine and a hairdresser with scissors demonstrating and blocking the streets. Rather, government contracts are awarded to foreign companies that are not interested in any of the above guidelines (guild can provide information) and can fulfill them in order to discriminate even more against German crafts. Only when the engineer drives a taxi, the professor slaughters the pig and the architect builds a brick wall will you notice how wrongly politicians in our country have promoted young people in the craft.
It is all the more gratifying that a really great commercial spot is now running in the evening program of public law.
