Jörg Hofmann, President of IG Metall:

“IG Metall welcomes the fact that employers are now required to offer their employees COVID-19 tests as needed. At the moment, regular testing is a key measure for protecting the many employees who cannot work from home. That is why, together with our works councils, we are doing everything in our power to support the practical implementation of this in workplaces across our industries. And employees should definitely take advantage of this testing opportunity. Their health is their most valuable asset.”
