The Hartz IV reforms implemented by the SPD-Green Party government under Schröder and foreign minister Joschka Fischer (Greens) represented the greatest social attack in post-war Germany. Benefits were slashed for the unemployed, who were put under increased pressure to take on any job. This had direct benefits for industry, as workers were blackmailed into accepting repeated wage reductions and social cuts. The result was a huge low-wage sector that is now being used to intensify the race to the bottom in social conditions.
