Two German Holidays At Risk?

Well....the Chancellor (Merz) is to have a meeting with the SPD rep (Klingbeil). To show increased 'production'.....there is this suggestion to dump two holidays  (1 May, and either Christi Himmelfahrt (Ascension Day) or Pfingstmontag (Whit Monday / Pentecost Monday).

Public appeal? Zero.

The idea that the SPD would agree to dump May-Day?  Zero.

To show some mathematical plus-up? More or less....16 extra man-hours a year....for each working adult.
