German MP Ricarda Lang Criticizes Federal Tariff Loyalty Act's Exemptions
German MP Ricarda Lang of the Greens has expressed concerns about the Federal Tariff Loyalty Act. She has criticized its design, particularly the exemptions for defence and security policy orders, which she believes gut the law and make it toothless.
Lang has been critical of the complete exemptions granted to the Bundeswehr, the German Armed Forces, under the act. She has also raised concerns about the lack of planned random checks for its implementation. The Greens MP has long demanded this act and believes it is crucial to ensure good working conditions with public money.
Lang's criticism echoes wider concerns about the law's effectiveness. While the Greens support the principle of the act, they argue that the planned exceptions significantly undermine its intended purpose. The law, as currently designed, may not deliver the intended benefits for workers and could potentially lead to unfair practices.
MP Ricarda Lang's criticism highlights the need for a balanced approach in the Federal Tariff Loyalty Act. While exemptions are necessary in certain sectors, they should not compromise the law's core objectives. The Greens' concerns about the lack of checks and the exemptions for the Bundeswehr deserve careful consideration as the law moves through the legislative process.
