Federal Economics Minister Sigmar Gabriel has admitted mistakes in the introduction of Hartz IV. Ten years ago, there should have been a minimum wage, so that “these unfair low-wage sector not to spread such” Gabriel told the newspaper “Bild am Sonntag”, according to a preliminary report.

                         
         
         
                                                             
                                 

Gabriel made another error: “We have those who have worked for decades, then were involuntarily unemployed, should not be treated the same way after unemployment benefits expire at Hartz IV as those who never worked,” he said. “The value of labor must be preserved.”

Both points are repeatedly criticized by the unions. Even after a decade they have not yet made their peace with the reform and criticize them as anti-social.
