Jörg Hofmann: “The Federal Government has delivered! Thanks in particular to the efforts of Ministers Hubertus Heil and Gerd Müller, the breakthrough has been achieved. IG Metall clearly welcomes the agreement on a supply chain law; after a long struggle, this is a positive signal.
One downer: it is taking too long for the law to take effect. We urge employers to meet the standards prescribed by the new law beforehand. In the medium term, it must also be checked whether an event-related control of the non-direct suppliers in the supply chain is sufficient. “
