minimum wages anywhere in Europe, equal pay for women and men, a common strategy to combat poverty, European social insurance number, in order to combat illegal employment – so the Greens are a more social Europe. A request to the parliamentary group brings the beginning of April in the Bundestag, a good two months before the European elections. “The financial crisis and its consequences show that Europe also needs to always have the social justice in view”, – stated in the paper, the daily mirror. “Europe has to be social, to be against crises and populism armed,” said Green party parliamentary leader Anton Hofreiter.
Clear criticism of the Green politician, exercised on the European course of the Grand coalition. “There is hardly a German Federal government, the promise and what is delivered in the European policies have produced even greater diversity, ever made it that far apart,” said Hofreiter. Above all, the Union was now miles far from together with the SPD agreed in the coalition agreement, the promise actually a unification and strengthening of Europe. Dissatisfied with the group chief showed up especially with the reactions from the Union to the reform proposals of the French President, Emmanuel Macron. “This is hardly more than short-sighted and cold obstinacy,” he said. The Europe of Nations to which the Union head, is a de facto skeptics “buckling in front of the populists and Europe” and plant doubt and resentment in the historical project of peace in Europe.
In each country, a minimum wage
Specifically, the group in the Bundestag calls for the introduction of an EU framework Directive for minimum wages. “The aim should be, in each country, a minimum wage is desirable that protects against poverty”, – stated in the application. Currently, according to an investigation by the Union-affiliated Hans-Böckler-Foundation from the year 2018 in 22 of the 28 EU member States have a legal minimum wage. The margin ranges from an hourly rate of 1.42 euros in Bulgaria up to 11,27 euros in Luxembourg. Of a framework Directive, the Greens hope to contribute to the alignment of living conditions. The member States are required, a higher minimum wage and to not reduce the current minimum wages.

That women and men receive for the same work the same pay – to guarantee the Green, also with the help of a Directive. In this criteria for work of equal value should be developed, in addition, there should be a law on collective action, so that Affected parties can enforce their claims by associations and trade unions support.
Social rights are to be enforceable according to the will of the Greens as a fundamental rights before the European court of justice. “So, for example, the unemployed could take defensive action if they are denied the right to mediation in the work,” it says. Also, workers would not have adequate vacation or rest breaks, then received assistance from the EU. For times of crisis, where the unemployment insurance systems of individual member States are overwhelmed, calls upon the Green group in the Bundestag, a European reinsurance. This could help ensure that crises would not be extended artificially. In the medium term, member States would have to vote in the EU in the social policy a close, for example, in the direction of an unemployment-based insurance, called Wolfgang strict man-Kuhn, labour market policy spokesman of the group. “Europe is more than just a common internal market,” he said. Right now it is particularly important to strengthen the social cohesion in the EU and to make them the guarantor of social security.
