Just as German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been at the political forefront of the migration crisis, the Federation of German Industries (BDI) has been at the business forefront. The BDI has spoken clearly and decisively about the benefits of refugees for business and has proposed changes to Germany’s labor laws and regulations, including fast-tracking the newcomers’ right to work.
私人部门沉默模式有一个明显的例外。一如德国总理安吉拉·默克尔一直站在移民危机的政治前沿，德国工业联合会（BDI）也一直站在商界的前沿。德国工业联合会明确坚定地阐述了难民对于商界的好处，并对德国的劳动法规，包括快速完成新移民工作权的审批提出了修改建议。为保障企业参与和投资的可持续性，德国工业联合会还要求确保已经就业的移民不被驱逐。
