Hardly. The Greens have a range of positions, some fairly neolib, some neosocialist. Flexibilization has a different cast in Germany, where Ladenschlusszeiten means that shopping after 6 pm is pretty tough (everything closes down); the state heavily regulates labor markets, unlike the US. They floated some minor make-work proposal, in terms of a low wage sector, which would've changed nothing. And plenty of union leaders deserve criticism for being more neolib than the bosses themselves.
