Tausende Arbeitnehmer wollen am Samstag in Nürnberg unter dem Motto «Hart verdient!» gegen Sozialabbau demonstrieren. Hauptrednerin bei der Kundegebung in der Nürnberger Innenstadt wird die Vorsitzende der Gewerkschaft IG Metall, Christiane Benner, sein. Nürnberg ist eine von bundesweit 15 Großstädten und die einzige in Bayern, in denen die Aktion zeitgleich stattfindet.

Im Mittelpunkt der Proteste stehen Reformpläne der Bundesregierung in den Themenfeldern Arbeit, Gesundheit und Rente. Der DGB und seine Mitgliedsgewerkschaften kritisieren drohende Verschlechterungen bei sozialer Sicherheit und Arbeitnehmerrechten. Sie fordern stattdessen Reformen, die den Sozialstaat zukunftsfest machen, ohne die Beschäftigten zusätzlich zu belasten.

Der Aktionstag soll auch die politische Debatte auf Bundesebene begleiten. Die Reformpolitik von Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz (CDU) ist umstritten. Während viele Reformen mit deutlichen Einschnitten auch für die Arbeitnehmer für unumgänglich halten, sind andere der Auffassung, dass weitere Belastungen für Arbeitnehmer unzumutbar sind.

The designated Bavarian Youth and Democracy Minister Manuel Knoll (CSU) criticizes the fact that young people do not feel adequately represented in democracy and warns of the danger that they will turn to extremist parties if their concerns are not taken seriously. He calls for a sustainability factor in laws for future generations and emphasizes the need for a real exchange with young people who feel disconnected from classic structures.
