Korinna Schumann is the minister for work. She wants a new law for workers. People with part-time jobs want more hours. They get a right to more work. The law arrives in the year 2028. There is one important rule. We need more childcare places. Parents can only work more with childcare.
Schumann says: People can work more if they want. Many people work more than their contract says. This happens often in hospitals. The minister talks to the government now. She puts money for childcare in the budget.
Some people do not like this plan. The business group of the OVP says no. Firms should decide on their own work needs. The industry also dislikes the plan. They say: The law does not give more workers.
