English Translation

80 - 3 - I also want to pay particular attention to the performance of the worker in the future, and I have therefore made it possible, by amending the Works Committee Act, to make it possible for the worker himself in the company to be involved more strongly than before and thus also to be co-responsible. In the next few days, I will make it possible for the managers/managers themselves to apply the necessary attention to their operations and, together with the works committees, insofar as the conditions of war allow them to help and intervene wherever there are opportunities for doing so. I will arrange for the managers to ask representatives in the enterprises and, together with them, to discuss the problems of the company and the working class. I have also arranged for the workers to be provided with a larger stock of work shoes and work clothes in these years. For this purpose, I have provided 200,000 pairs of work shoes and 300,000 pieces of work clothes, including skirts, jackets, trousers, aprons, work coats, etc. This work clothing, which is distributed under co-responsibility of its company representatives, can of course only be delivered within the framework of normal care. I would like, however, to make provision for the worker to be able to put into practice his will to lay down his work.
