German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said yesterday that his Social Democrats were pushing ahead with their election promise to raise the national minimum wage to €12 an hour, as it was important to show respect for low-paid workers.
“For me, raising the minimum wage to €12 is one of our most important legislative projects and it’s a matter of showing respect for the achievements of employees. I’m glad it’s on its way now!,” Scholz said on Twitter. Heil told Reuters on Friday that he expected the change to benefit especially employees in eastern Germany and women working in the care sector and other services where wages are traditionally very low.
The cabinet is likely to pass the draft law in February and parliament is expected to adopt the higher minimum wage before the summer break.
