Febetra: "Put German minimum wage law 'on hold'"

As previously reported, Germany is introducing a statutory minimum wage of €8.50 per hour on 1 January. “In itself, there is nothing wrong with that at all. On the contrary. The German initiative paves the way to reignite the discussion on a European minimum wage and can serve as a crowbar for further social harmonisation at European level,” argues Philippe Degraef, director of the Belgian hauliers’ federation Febetra.
