Service union Ver.di calls on federal states to vote against the Growth Opportunities Act. Law provides tax relief for companies until 2028 and an acceleration of approval processes.

The Bundestag has already approved the law, but the states had stopped it in the Federal Council because, in their view, the planned tax relief would tear too big a hole in their budgets and those of the municipalities. The mediation committee of the Bundestags and Bundesrat is scheduled to deal with the law on Wednesday.
