Replace daily with weekly maximum working hours
The CDU wants to push for maximum working hours to be set per week rather than per day. It justifies this with a changed world of work and the need to balance family and career. It is also open to more part-time models.
Today there is a limit on working hours per day. The CDU wants a limit per week instead. People could then plan their work more freely. This should help parents. The CDU also likes more part-time work.
In the program's view, current working-time law does not fit the variety of ways people live. It says work has become more digital, less tied to one place and more flexible in time. The CDU therefore wants to work toward a change in which a weekly cap replaces the daily cap. It is also open to expanding part-time models in the interest of employees. The aim is more leeway, especially for parents.

Replacing the daily with a weekly maximum working time loosens an existing protective rule in labor law.
