KTM in the crisis: clear wage problems before the winter break!

In the middle of the turbulence at KTM, the problems for the employees of the motorcycle manufacturer are increasing. The company has announced that the December wages do not pay off as expected before Christmas - bad news for the approximately 3,600 affected people who had hoped for a quick payment.

These tensions could endanger the further renovation of the company, while the employees worry about their existence.
