The CDU and CSU are pressuring Labor Minister Bärbel Bas to abolish the eight-hour workday. The coalition plans a reform of the working hours law that aims to promote flexible working arrangements. However, Bärbel Bas is skeptical of these plans and emphasizes the importance of the current model for workers' rights. CDU politicians are urging Bas to adhere to the agreements originally set out in the coalition agreement. The discussion on working hours could have far-reaching implications for the work culture in Germany.
