For those who may not be aware of it.....a minimum of 300,000 non-German 'temp' workers are brought in yearly (maybe drifting up to 600,000 at times) to help manage nursing requirements for hospitals and retirement homes.
Their pay-level? By the time that things are figured out and their 'agency' takes a cut....the person is making below minimum wage (at Germany rates).
So the Federal Labor Court of Germany had this case come through and this week......they said the system is 'unfair'.
The workers have to make minimum wage (period).
What happens now? The cost factor at retirement homes and hospitals....has to go up. No one is saying how much though.
An affect on the regular consumer, and the healthcare insurance? I would imagine that by early 2022....a whole big mess will open up and discussions will start up over the new chaos of finding the extra money.
