Germany's Chancellor Merz:  We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.   We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.   We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.

Worst chancelor Germany has had since 1945.

I still actually blame merkel for this on account of pretending it's like 1998 for 16 years or so lead directly to this bozo

a kind of footstool the CDU government is propped up upon.

wdym kind of. their last vestige of being the workers party was "a worker is somebody who assembles cars on a factory line for 4000 eurdollars a month because that's what the country runs on" and now they're abandoning even that, again, in the last 20 years. The SPD is functionally the CDU except you live somewhere that used to have factories
