ÖGB-Niederösterreich urgently demands the labor foundation for those affected!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The current developments related to Kika/Leiner bankruptcy are also skillfully overwhelming the employment situation of many employees: inside in Lower Austria. Markus Wieser, the state chairman of the ÖGB-Niederösterreich, emphasizes that the establishment of a labor foundation is now considered indispensable. "The state of Lower Austria must seriously think about building the labor foundation we demanded," said Wieser after the state board meeting. The unanimous support of the ÖGB state board illustrates the urgency of the situation; It is about offering affected employees: to offer solutions as soon as possible.

The demand for a labor foundation is underpinned by the knowledge that despite the efforts of the labor market service (AMS), not all employees receive sufficient support. Wieser emphasizes that "we act quickly and do not have anyone left behind". This labor foundation is intended to quickly bring clients back into employment through qualification measures. Models are already considered behind the scenes, a wide variety of foundations such as outplacement or insolvency foundations include supporting companies in times of crisis by providing financial and professional help for excreting employees: href = "https://www.oegb.at/themen/arbeitsmarkt/arbeitslos/das-bringen-dir-eine-abeitsstiftung"> oegb.at .

urgent need for action

The importance of a rapid establishment of a work foundation can also be seen in the already existing models such as the insolvency foundation, which are financially supported by the AMS. These foundations offer the employees concerned: Interior support for professional reorientation using further training offers and active employment agency. The AMS bears up to 60 percent of the cost of career orientation, a significant relief for those affected. Wieser underlines that "people don't deserve to be in the rain alone", which reinforces the importance of these initiatives.
