Co-operation in a spirit of trust

Article Abstract:

Germany's labor law is aimed at protecting the employees' rights and fostering a more harmonious relationship between the workers and their employers. However, these laws do not always preserve corporate competitiveness. Most of these laws, such as the Dismissal Protection Act, tend to discriminate against younger but more skilled employees who can provide the industry with much-needed technical expertise.
