Germans reject labor reforms affecting the 8-hour workday and part-time work

Germans are skeptical of proposed labor reforms, with a majority opposing changes to the 8-hour workday and restrictions on part-time employment. A recent INSA poll for BILD found that 41% reject shifting to a weekly maximum work hour limit, and 69% oppose limiting part-time work rights. The debate, triggered by the CDU/CSU's economic wing, also shows most Germans want to keep mini-jobs and are unwilling to work more to boost the economy.
