German Government Coalition Feuds Over Working Time Law Reform
A dispute has flared up within Germany's ruling coalition of CDU/CSU and SPD over reform of the working time law. Businesses and conservatives demand moving from a daily limit of 8 hours to a weekly one, while unions and the SPD insist on protecting workers. The reform, whose draft was prepared by the labour ministry in June 2026, is blocked.
