He supports the Reform Party’s initiative concerning Tallinn’s kindergartens but criticizes the lack of state funding, which is causing difficulties. In the context of labor relations, he stresses that any compromise must be reached through an agreement between the social partners (trade unions and employers), rather than being a decision imposed by the minister.
