"Like oil on fire" - trade reacts to Bas' Juso speech

"The gentlemen in tailor-made suits": Bas polarizes with statements

"There they sat, I'll say this quite openly now, the gentlemen - yes, mostly men - in their comfortable armchairs, one or the other in a tailored suit, and the rejection was clearly noticeable," said Bas. This situation showed her "where the lines really run in this country". Namely "between rich and poor, between those who need security and those who consider it negotiable", said Bas.

Nostitz accused the minister of opening up rifts with such statements. "Such provocative statements do not help in the current tense economic situation," he said. Employers and employees have been working side by side in companies for decades. "No one is fighting against anyone. They build, train and share responsibility." The minister's words acted "like oil on the fire of an already insecure society".
