dont forget their normal salary is roughly double that, so 9500 is a massive unexpected paycut.
So does the people that are not in this industry. So, according to your comment, they get around €200k before tax. Don't they have savings, investments etc? Can they not do a life style change for the next months? Remember this is temporary, it's not for life. Having the tax payer paying those high amounts, no matter how much you argue back, it's ludicrous. Just remember our colleagues that lost their job recently and they are entitle to 0. Zero. Nada.
Don't be greedy.
