Berlin (dpa) - NRW Labor and Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann has spoken out in favor of opening unemployment insurance for solo self-employed.
“For me as a social politician, it has shown how worthy of protection are the self-employed.
For a long time they didn't want to know anything about social security.
Now in the crisis they are calling for a rescue package.
The solution would be to include self-employed people in the unemployment insurance, "said the CDU politician of the" Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung "(Monday).
In addition, in the Corona crisis, he called for solidarity between the higher-income earners and the victims: “It cannot be that those who bear the brunt of this crisis are economically ruined. There is a large group of people, including myself, who are now making as much as they were before. Those should show solidarity. " Laumann is also the federal chairman of the Christian Democratic workforce.
