Schaeffler shocked Homburg: 2,800 jobs in Germany away!
Alarm mood at Schaeffler! The well -known car supplier is drastic - a total of 4,700 places fall away, 2800 of them in Germany! Particularly bitter: The Homburg location is badly affected, and the work for linear technology with its 230 employees is about to end!
The shock sits deeply with the employees in Homburg! Schaeffler wants to close an entire division. The 230 employees, who produce parts for medical technology devices, have now been surprisingly informed. "This is a slap in the face," said Peter Vollmar, the 1st representative of IG Metall Homburg. The workforce felt faced with completed facts and the decision came unexpectedly for everyone!
Plans for drastic cuts
A total of ten locations in Germany are affected, two are even to be closed. The company plans to implement immense savings of 290 million euros per year in the next few years. The reason for the job cuts lies in the weak demand in the industrial business and the low interest in electric cars!
For the time being, the exact number of job cancellations remains unclear for the approximately 2,000 employees in Homburg. Schaeffler emphasizes that you are looking for socially acceptable solutions. But the uncertainty remains: "The company will now and must come to the works councils," Vollmar continues. The information phase begins and the workforce is in turmoil!
