Saxony: Left denounces "cold expropriation" of workers

Leipzig (dpa / sn) - The Leipzig member of the Bundestag Sören Pellmann has criticized a "cold expropriation" of employees. "If more than one in three full-time employees in Saxony earns less than 2,500 euros, then we have a system error. We need higher wages," said the left-wing politician on Thursday of the German Press Agency. In 2022 there was the third real round of minuses for employees in a row. The demands of the unions are justified. "But we also need a plan for non-tariff workers, who are in the majority in the East." Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) must put pressure on employers here. "Inflation compensation is the order of the day."
