Working hours are and remain a hot topic. The trade association’s aim to extend working hours to 41 hours per week without wage compensation is causing heated feelings. The Chamber of Labor wants people to work less. But what do the Viennese actually want? And what do the experts say? The “Krone” asked around.
“If we want to maintain our prosperity, we must work more instead of less,” Constitutional Minister Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP) said at an event.
