The planned restructuring of the car manufacturer Opel leads to disputes between the employee representatives. The chairman of the general works council is criticized.
According to a magazine report, the redevelopment poker at Opel divides employee representatives. According to the magazine "Focus" (Monday), the Bochum works council boss Rainer Einenkel criticized the general works council boss Klaus Franz. He linked the employees' savings contribution of 120 million euros to the fact that 100,000 Opel Astra rolls off the assembly line in Rüsselsheim instead of in Ellesmere Port, UK. "I would never demand that Bochum redevelop itself at the expense of another plant," Einenkel told the magazine.
Interests of all Opel employees
Einenkel demanded that Franz "as the general works council chairman and head of the European workers' forum" had to represent the interests of all Opel employees. The Opel parent company General Motors (GM) has not yet reached an agreement with the employees about their contribution to the restructuring. Employees are demanding extensive location and job guarantees in return for financial concessions. (dpa)
