The Los Gallardos forest fire (Almería) continues out of control. The winds of the last few hours, of up to 50 kilometers per hour, complicate the extinction tasks, although a wind from the East is expected this Saturday that could favor its evolution.

The Institute of Legal Medicine of Almería has already completed the autopsies on the 12 deceased, although at the moment…
After years of stagnation and recession, many companies want to return to growth. The very practical question arises as to the extent to which target, incentive and compensation systems match the desired growth orientation. The “Corporate Governance Study 2026”, which the consulting firm Kienbaum carried out from the end of 2025 to the beginning of 2026, shows that, regardless of the size of the company, growth is a high or even very high priority for a clear majority of the companies surveyed.

The car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz is in crisis – and its human resources director has clear words in a video message to employees: “Working hours must become cheaper – in development, sales, administration and also in production,” says Britta Seeger. “The most direct and, in our opinion, fairest way is: We have to work more for the same money in all areas.” Statements that are not in the usual PR style focused on positive aspects and vague developments, but that offer a target for criticism. The video was not only shared within the Mercedes workforce, but also with SWR. This is…

In principle, marginally employed people receive the minimum wage. It is currently 13.90 euros and from January 1,…
