English Translation

- 20 - the number of unemployed fell so quickly that today there is a catastrophic shortage of labour on the motorway construction sites. Although today it would be possible to employ around 10.000 workers on the construction sites, only 2,600 workers are working there. Therefore, the construction does not proceed at a pace as anticipated, although the delay in the construction work has also been due to other circumstances, especially the unwork of the already finished projects according to Reichsdeutsche standards. The lack of labour had a few primeval days in the past season.The motorway route runs in cincr area, which is relatively sparsely populated and which there are also little local workers here.Especially this year the whole energy was concentrated in the time of harvesting work on agricultural work.The other,probably the most remarkable reason is in the relative low earnings on the highway, because wages are determined by the collective contract and precisely in the regions which run through the route of the highway is the hourly wage lower than in other districts,so that the object of the. Labour force from these districts, in which higher wages are paid, is very difficult.In order to remedy this shortage, negotiations are under way to introduce allowances according to the German model (path and separation allowances).
