Lumberg Connect in Cloppenburg: Short -time work because of the economic crisis!

The shadows of the economic crisis throw themselves on Lumberg Connect in Cloppenburg! In November, the 470 employees have to make do with short -time work on four Fridays. Press spokesman Kai Rotthaus informs that the company wants to regularly examine the economic Situation in order to avoid layoffs. The turbulent situation affects the entire Lumberg Group with a total of 1,250 employees and reflects the current challenges in the automotive and electrical industry.

"The overall economic situation is currently showing a weak picture," Rotthaus is quoted. The dark view on the horizon is not good, because in October the employees had to go into short work on three days! While competitors have been forced to send employees on idling since February and March, Lumberg wants to have a serious look at the topic of employment. The automotive industry suffers from declining figures in e-mobility, and the problems in China with tariffs and exports are by no means to be ignored.

monthly employee updates

To keep the workforce up to date, a monthly information event was launched, which reports on relevant markets and their perspectives. The construction site boom in recent years has come to a standstill, and this is also reflected in the sunken sales figures in the field of building technology. The uncertainties about heat pumps and the sluggish paragraph give employees additional reason to concern.

Nevertheless - there is no fear of layoffs! "The word layoffs never stood in the room," said Rotthaus. In 2009, the situation was completely different than more than 100 out of 600 employees lost their job. The comparison is unfortunate in the current situation, since Lumberg tries to do everything necessary to continue to employ your loyal employees.
