Because robot mowers are relatively quiet, they are the only type of lawn mower to be allowed to operate at night or on Sundays in Germany. Their use has greatly increased over the past few years.

Its amazing to me how Christian the laws are in Germany still

Having a collective day for rest? I find it very worker friendly. I find it fascinating we are able to agree we rest on the same day and we do not bother each other with noise.

Although I would vote for 3 days off work and 2 days with illegal mowing.

*unless you're working for public infrastructure, service industry, cultural industry, energy production, some parts of transportation or some parts of manufacturing where you can't shut down a plant for a single day.

There are so many exceptions to that law I'm really wondering how much difference it would really make it supermarkets and regular shift works would also continue on the weekends - just with the standard 5 days workweek still applying and having to pay a bit bonus for working on Sundays, the same way the other jobs are also getting paid more for Sunday work

We don't agree. My people rest on Saturday.

This law means I can't ever fucking do construction on my house over the weekend. It's a problem.
