Insolvency from Kika/Leiner: Lower Austria is looking for solutions for affected employees!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The bankruptcy of the Kika/Leiner furniture chain meets everyone hard, especially the approximately 1,350 employees. After bankruptcy, the state of Lower Austria initially set up no labor foundation, as State Councilor Susanne Rosenkranz (FPÖ) explained. Nevertheless, the hope remains that the well -trained employees can quickly find a job again through the early offer of the labor market service (AMS). The situation will remain tense in the next few months, since many employees will only be reported to the AMS after the Christmas business, which is pre -programmed. According to Apa-OTS , prices have already been observed in stores, where unemployment rose by 9.7%.

There is also speculation about possible retraining in the nursing sector that go back to an initiative of the Lower Austria employee association (NÖAAB). Katja Seitner, the state manager of the NÖAAB, drew attention to the many employment opportunities that are waiting for those affected in nursing. "Dealing with people is a valuable ability that is also required in nursing," says Seitner. The Lower Austria care training premium is also pointed out, which serves as a financial incentive. Nevertheless, the question remains which concrete steps the country will take to help those affected directly to help those affected directly, such as Kurier reported.

The uncertainty remains high, since most of the Kika/Leiner chains employees who worked in the Christmas business before bankruptcy will possibly face massive dismissals from the new year. Of course, the state government is committed to offering those affected a perspective and are already starting talks to clarify the further steps. The pressure increases and the question remains how the situation for the more than 600 Lower Austrian employees will develop.
