“In 4 steps to a 4-day week”: Left presents concept for a four- day week with full wage compensation. Public service should take on a pioneering role and small businesses should receive financial support, according to the Left.
This is the only way to counteract the dramatic shortage of skilled workers and nursing shortages, says the party. The Left also bases its demands on the alarming data from health insurance companies. According to the AOK's absenteeism report, the number of sick days due to psychological stress is continuously increasing.
