What initiates over the States is known for a long time, underpins a new report by the North Rhine-Westphalia labour Minister Karl-Josef Laumann (CDU) now has presented. SPD-in-chief Sebastian Hartmann asked on Wednesday in Duesseldorf, to end the inhumane accommodation of persons employed in the meat industry immediately.

meanwhile, the district of Euskirchen massive corona feared restrictions for its citizens, if the infection numbers in a Church are on the rise. Around 1000 of their followers are already in quarantine and need to Test.

the focus of the Corona-events in NRW but remain abuses in the meat industry. In the Review of accommodation for workers in the meat industry, already to may, numerous shortcomings have been noted. Among the almost 1,900 middle and serious complaints of Overcrowding, mold, danger of collapse, leaking roofs, "catastrophic sanitary facilities", fire safety deficiencies, and a lack of disinfectant products, such as from a report of the Minister of health to the Parliament out.

In the case of the meat industry, therefore, before the mass of Corona onset are liable in the case of Tönnies - approximately 650 properties with more than 5300 people have been checked. In addition, 250 farms and properties were controlled by just under 5800 for seasonal workers. Here 170 mostly smaller or medium-sized defects had been found.

Hartmann accused Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU), not a precise look, and not to have acted consistently, even though the States had known for a long time. Also in dealing with the Corona-crisis in the case of Tönnies and the excessive restrictions on the population have failed Laschet. "It is clear that this Disaster has two names: Laschet and Tönnies."

Laumann sees a need for changes in Federal law, to workers ' housing outside of the pandemic control. Also NRW Economics Minister Andreas Pinkwart (FDP), insists on reforms. "One or the other may be gone from the framework. We must capture it now,“ he said. The labour law and animal husbandry, as well as to the question, "whether meat must be per se a cheap product".
