Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The bankruptcy of the renowned company Kika/Leiner has far -reaching consequences for the employees in Lower Austria. Over 1,350 employees are affected by the loss of jobs, with more than 600 affected people affecting the state of Lower Austria. Michael Pieber, Managing Director of GPA Lower Austria, describes the situation as incomprehensible and demands the creation of a permanent labor foundation to offer people a new professional perspective. "The rejection by the country is incomprehensible," said Pieber.

In view of the massive layoffs in this sector, the GPA also calls for the establishment of a permanent labor foundation, as has already been implemented in other federal states. According to Pieber, the employees of the AMS Lower Austria reach their limits due to limited budget funds and urgently need support. In order to move the state government to rethink, an online petition was launched that indicates the urgency of this solution. "Other industries in the country are currently faced with bankruptcies and waves of termination," emphasizes Pieber.

rejection to the labor foundation

The state of Lower Austria, however, has given a rejection to the required labor foundation, which further complicated for those affected. This is all the more alarming because economic uncertainty continues to hovers over the region. According to noe.orf.at , the demand for support from politics is getting louder, while the employees desperately hope for a solution. The pressure on the regional government is growing in order to find ways as quickly as possible to support people in unemployment.
