SecondDue to the continuous increase in the number of people infected with the new crown virus, the Unemployment Minister Hubertus Haier (SPD) hopes to redefine the obligation to work from home. This was reported by Bild on the basis of a draft law submitted to the Traffic Light Party SPD, Greens and FDP by the Federal Labor Department. Therefore, the workplace also has 3G requirements.
“In the case of office work or similar activities, if there is no compelling reason for operation, the employer must let the employee perform these activities at home,” the newspaper quoted the draft. “Employees must accept this proposal, provided that there is no reason to the contrary.”
People who have not been vaccinated must do a quick test on their own
The picture shows that the parliamentary group of the Traffic Light Party has been discussing the draft since the weekend. Especially in the case of FDP, so it is still not clear how it will position itself.
According to the picture, the 3-G rule in the workplace plan—the obligation to provide proof of vaccination, rehabilitation, or negative test results—prescribes that employers do not have to provide tests. Therefore, employees who have not been vaccinated must conduct certified quick tests on their own every day.
Green Party Boss Robert Harbeck It is required that the 3-G rule be applied in train traffic. Travelers must be vaccinated, recovered, or tested. “Yes, rail travel must also become safer. In my opinion, 3G should be applied here, and we will have to talk about it,” Green Party boss Robert Harbeck told Fink Media Group newspaper.
SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach also agrees. “3G should also apply to trains. In the case of this coronavirus, it is irresponsible for unvaccinated and untested people to stay close to other passengers for a few hours in long-distance traffic,” Lauterbach Say. Sunday photos.
Habeck also believes that it is possible to restrict the freedom of people who have not been vaccinated. “Access restrictions are painful cuts, and we all know this. But given this dramatic situation, they may be regional for people who are not depressed. The corresponding should be included in the infection protection law.” He It is also believed that mandatory vaccination for certain professional groups is wise.
Harbeck emphasized that strict 2-G rules are necessary for people who are vaccinated and who have recovered from the federal state. Compliance must also be continuously monitored. “Once the testing center is fully open again, increasing the safety to 2 G plus, that is, testing the vaccinated people, is the logical next step,” Greens boss added.The workplace also urgently needs 3G measures and increased use work from home.
“The situation in Germany is extremely serious,” Habek said. “If the fourth wave is not broken quickly, the hospital system may collapse in December,” he warned.
