North Rhine-Westphalia's Labor Minister Karl-Josef Laumann has sharply criticized his CDU party's wording in the debate over 'lifestyle part-time work.' The CDU deputy chairman calls for more tact and emphasizes that Germans are diligent. He considers the economic wing's proposal unlikely to pass.
The desire for more part-time work is growing among employees and companies. This response to the skilled labor shortage, changing needs, and a transforming labor market leaves many workers with little choice but to reduce their hours due to high job stresses.
