Kika/Leiner bankruptcy: Ex-employees fight for a new future!
On December 6, 2024, 1,350 Kika/Leiner employees will have to look for new jobs because the company is in difficulties and has to close numerous branches. The last Kika branch in East Tyrol was closed last summer. Jürgen Stieglitz, who quit his job at Kika/Leiner a year ago, said: “It no longer had a future.” In an insightful report by OTS.at The difficult situation of the affected employees and their challenges on the labor market are discussed.
The search for new perspectives
Alfred Pum, an ex-Kika employee, has already found a new job at a kitchen manufacturer. But what happens to the other employees who suddenly lost their jobs? Andrea Poschmaier and Pia Bichara searched for answers in a moving story for “Thema” to shed light on the emotional and professional upheaval. The uncertainty and the search for new paths are a big challenge for many.
In addition to the labor market issues, another story in the same program also looks at the situation in Atzenbrugg, where the aftermath of a devastating flood is affecting many residents. An example is Alfred Keiblinger from the region, who says: “I don't have the strength to rebuild my home, I'm moving away.” The psychological pressure caused by such disasters is enormous, with many residents suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, according to a report by tirol.ORF.at is taken up. There are many empty houses in the region, which not only questions the economic but also the emotional stability of those affected.
