“…In line with these demands and with the international trend towards supplyside economics, deregulation of hiring barriers appeared on the political agenda (Schmid and Oschmiansky, 2005). The first tangible result of this paradigm change was the 1985 Employment Promotion Act.…”

“…While the liberal Free Democratic Party supported employer demands, members of the CDU left wing rejected further deregulation. The Employment Promotion Act had already led to strong protest by the SPD and unions against a perceived undermining of JSRs (Schmid and Oschmiansky, 2005). Losses in the 1987 elections were interpreted as a punishment for far too extensive social cutbacks.…”

Business and the development of job security regulations: the case of Germany

This article examines the role of business in the historical development of job security regulations in Germany from their creation in the inter-war period to the dawn of the crisis of the 'German Model' in the 1990s. It contrasts a varieties of capitalism perspective, which views business as a protagonist, or at the very least a consenter, in the development of job security regulations, with a conflict-oriented perspective, which has the labour movement as the protagonist and business as an antagonist in the development of job security regulations. The empirical analysis is based on primary and secondary sources and shows that German employers have never favoured strict over flexible job security regulations. Quite the contrary, high levels of job security regulations were forced upon employers during periods of business weakness by a radicalized labour movement in the aftermath of both World Wars.

This article examines the role of business in the historical development of job security regulations in Germany from their creation in the inter-war period to the dawn of the crisis of the 'German Model' in the 1980s. It contrasts the varieties of capitalism approach, which sees business as protagonists, or at least consenters, in the development of job security regulations with a conflict-oriented approach, which sees the labour movement as protagonists and business as antagonists in the development of job security regulations. The empirical analysis is based on primary and secondary sources and shows that at no point in time German employers preferred strict over flexible job security regulations. Quite the contrary, high levels of job security regulations have been forced upon employers by radicalized labour movements in periods of business weakness in the aftermath of both World Wars.
