Minimum wages would destroy at least a part of these jobs, which are occupied primarily by people with few qualifications and in eastern Germany.
I do certainly see chances that a grand coalition can take on major reform projects and reform challenges.
Politicians must decide: either they open up the low-wage sector and offer a new chance to the long-term unemployed and those with few qualifications, or they introduce a legal minimum wage. Both together won't work.
The coalition agreement will not make enough of a contribution to support growth and increase employment.
Given the current miserable economic situation and with over four million unemployed, a strike is the last thing Germany needs.
