Employer President Dulger: Regular talks with the government are the right thing to do, but are no substitute for coordinated action with the social partners
After the economic summit with Federal Minister Altmaier, Employers' President Dr. Rainer Dulger explains:
Berlin, 16 February 2021: "We still need a comprehensive overall approach. It must combine a vaccination and testing strategy as a contribution to openness with the framework for fast-tracking to Corona. It must be based on evidence-based decisions. This is the only way we will get a robust basis for planning.
In a concerted action of trade unions and employers we can and want to make our contribution. Regular talks with the government are the right thing to do, but they are no substitute for concerted action with the social partners. We need a Meseberg dialogue on these issues quickly."
