Hartz Reforms Force Unemployed to Work in Fake Supermarkets April 2010
In Germany – a country that is often held up as one of the more Social Democratic states – reforms dating back to around 2001 implemented by Chancellor Schroder’s Red / Green Alliance brought about very similar attacks to worker’s rights that we are now facing in UK. Known as the Hartz reforms these:
- Forced claimants to take €1 an hour jobs topped up by their benefits with penalties for not taking such work
- Forced claimants to take work that had nothing to do with what they were qualified to do
- Increased the rise of Mini – jobs previously used by pensioners to top up their earnings, generalising this through out the economy. Creating a climate of precarious labour with far fewer rights over contracts.
