Dresden (dpa / sn) - The Greens and the service union Verdi see increasing failures of the retail trade in protecting against the corona virus.
Measures are being undermined more and more often, controls are announced by telephone, the MP Gerhard Liebscher explained on Tuesday in Dresden: "The protective measures for customers are also being relaxed, security has hardly been put in place to control the flow of visitors, the disinfection of trolleys and baskets is part of the process Customer responsibility. "
According to his own statements, Liebscher had exchanged information on occupational safety with works councils from Netto, Aldi, Kaufland and H&M in the past few weeks.
Since the Corona occupational health and safety regulations came into force in April 2020, there have only been around 890 checks with around 140 available employees: "What is even more alarming is that with almost 300 defects found, only ten official orders have been issued to rectify them," Liebscher explained with reference on figures from the Saxon Ministry of Economics.
In his criticism, he also allowed trade unionists to speak.
“The employees in the food retail trade have daily contact with hundreds of people, there is hardly any preventive health protection.
They feel left alone by their employers.
It just seems to be about sales and profits.
This is a scandal, ”criticized the Verdi trade secretary Andrea Busch and her colleague Thomas Schneider.
