A demonstration for minimum wages

A German petition for a minimum wage of at least €12 an hour has been signed by 107 000 people. "We demand a change to the minimum wage law. The starting wage of €8.50 from 2015 must be increased to €12. We appeal to the German parliament to push for an amendment of the minimum wage law to fit today's social and economic needs."
