A European country is considering changing the work limit from daily to weekly, aiming for more flexibility for companies. This proposal has sparked disagreements within the governing coalition and opposition from unions, who warn about potential health risks and work-life balance issues. The current German law generally limits work to eight hours a day, with some flexibility allowed. Supporters argue that a weekly limit would help businesses adapt to operational needs, especially in seasonal sectors. However, unions express concerns about longer working hours impacting rest and family time, demanding guarantees against unilateral employer decisions. As of October 2026, no final agreement on the reform has been reached.
