Peter Tauber

Last updated

Operation Kaninchenjagd ("Operation rabbit hunting") is one of two titles of an anonymous paper [15] that became public in September 2016 and led to accusations against the politician Peter Tauber. It is alleged that Tauber – who was at that time member of the CDU and the (regional) chairman of the Young Union in Hesse – was involved in (attempted) bullying of another member and employee of the Christian Democratic Party.

Insulting mini jobbers

In July 2017, Tauber argued that someone who has a proper education does not have to work as a so-called mini jobber (marginal employment). This statement was criticized heavily by other politicians, the media and trades unions. In Germany, millions of workers are dependent on this type of employment to make a living due to economic liberalization implemented a decade ago. [16] [17] [18] [19]
