...Communist functionaries often petition for extra shifts at no extra pay. Furthermore, almost 7% of East Germany's man-hours trickle away in sick call (v. 3% in West Germany), largely because workers prefer to get sickness compensation rather than wait out plant slowdowns and receive the lower scale of layoff...
