criticism

Trade unions, Jusos and left-wing youth Solid strongly criticize Madsen because of his company's internal wage policy. This refuses to pay collective wages and even pays several hundred euros less than the usual collective wage to his employees. These statements led to public protests by employees, who justified this by saying that they would receive other perks. According to its own information, Madsen pays its employees 4% above the collective wage. Madsen also rejects works councils who, in his opinion, need "nobody".
