The Wage Fairness Act, a focal point of the coalition agreement in 2021, aims to mandate that companies working for the federal government pay tariff wages. SPD Chair Saskia Esken and Labor Minister Hubertus Heil are urging swift legislative action to ensure equal competitive conditions and to prevent wage dumping.
However, FDP Chair Christian Lindner and his party have reservations, preferring first to reduce bureaucratic burdens on companies. This difference in approach has sparked significant debate within the coalition government.
Esken criticizes Lindner's stance as unwise and emphasizes that fair wages must be ensured for those working on state contracts. Despite the pushback, Esken and other SPD leaders remain steadfast in their commitment to implementing the law.
