TMV calls for a no to a 15 euro minimum wage
Some details have already been published about the exploratory talks between the CDU/CSU and the SPD. Among other things, the SPD wants to enforce a legally established minimum wage of 15 euros. The taxi and rental car association has now stated that a nationwide minimum wage of 15 euros would accelerate the demise of the taxi industry like a "death turbo."
"You all know from your constituencies and from contacts with associations and medium-sized enterprises in your home regions that the middle class in our country is in an extremely difficult economic situation and that a sustainable relief that truly deserves this name must finally be the top priority. The middle class is loyal, reliable, does not relocate its headquarters abroad, and is the backbone of the German economy," explained TMV President Thomas Kroker and TMV Managing Director Patrick Meinhardt.
A KfW study indicates that more than 500,000 medium-sized companies are facing closure. In this situation, everything that further burdens the existence of the companies must be avoided. After all, the companies are already strained by exploding energy costs. In the taxi industry, there is also fierce competition with Uber and others.
Minimum wage is a matter for the Minimum Wage Commission
The TMV complains that setting a minimum wage contradicts the basic principle of collective bargaining autonomy. Here, the Union should remain firm in negotiations with the SPD. Many taxi companies cannot cope with the cost increases but cannot pass the costs directly on to passengers. Instead, they must first enter into arduous negotiations with cities and districts to negotiate new taxi rates.
An especially critical, often overlooked point is the financing of health insurance funds. Taxis and rental cars provide a significant portion of the medical transportation for those with statutory insurance. According to the TMV, a new increase to 15 euros would result in a further increase in medical transportation costs by over 16 percent. Thus, statutory health insurers would have to raise an additional 1.32 billion euros per year. The additional contribution of the statutory health insurance would rise by 0.46 percentage points solely due to this effect.
The TMV's appeal ends with the note that there has been good cooperation in the past and that they rely on the Union's support in preventing the politically motivated minimum wage.
