Berlin (dpa) - The Federal Association of German Employers' Associations has spoken out against compulsory corona testing for companies.
Employer President Rainer Dulger said on Monday that private companies had greatly expanded their testing efforts: “With the constant threat of legal regulation, this commitment is not recognized.
A test law does not create more protection, but more bureaucracy, more costs, less initiative and a bunch of unresolved legal and organizational questions. "
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) showed herself dissatisfied on Sunday evening in the ARD program “Anne Will” with the implementation of the self-commitment of the economy that every employee who is not in the home office can be tested twice a week.
Merkel made it clear that you have the impression that this will not be implemented across the board.
You have to make testing "probably" compulsory in the factories.

"We don't want a legal discussion, but more test successes," said Dulger.
“It is time we got back to working together again.
In this difficult situation in particular, politics and business can only achieve a lot together. "
At the beginning of April, the trade associations want to submit a first implementation report, according to earlier information, on how many companies are taking part in the tests.
On this basis and on the basis of its own survey, the Federal Government wants to assess whether there is a need for action on the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance.
Dulger explained: "We are acting, although some companies, their employees and families are currently facing very difficult economic challenges."
The economy does not shy away from any comparison with the testing efforts of the public sector, for example in administrations and schools.
“We also know from the feedback from our companies that the demand for tests has increased so that replenishment is delayed.
Some tests may have gotten stuck in the Suez Canal. "
