In the Ö1 series “Im Journal zu Gast” he argued, among other things, with the practice of seasonal workers, where workers are released at the beginning of the month and three weeks later are employed again by the same employee. Kopf does not understand why these costs “are reassigned to the entire insurance community”.
Regarding the labor shortage in tourism, Kopf said: “I don’t know if something automatically goes wrong when a market turns.” He also knows supply and demand. Many companies have now experienced that there are not as many people as they need with enormous growth. When asked whether tourism was paying too badly in the current situation, the head of the AMS answered in the affirmative.
The waiting period has been cited in recent days as a way to fund the government’s planned increase in unemployment benefits. Kopf called the postponement of the reform regrettable. However, the decision is also understandable, the avoidance of poverty – especially from the point of view of the Greens – is currently “particularly virulent” due to inflation.
