Liebherr reports short -time work: Employees affected in Kirchdorf

Kirchdorf an der Iller-The situation in the construction sector in Baden-Württemberg remains tense. After registering short -time work for the work in Biberach, the renowned construction machine manufacturer Liebherr has now also decided on this measure for his location in Kirchdorf an der Iller. This happens due to a continued low order situation that brings troubling developments for many companies that affect around 1,000 employees in Biberach.

The short-time work at the Kirchdorf location will come into force for the employees of Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH from November 1st, with a possible extension until December 1st. This regulation has been valid for employees in Biberach and Bad Schussenried for a few months. Information about the decision comes from the Swabian .

Current situation at the Kirchdorf location

At the Kirchdorf location, five different product lines are produced. Liebherr has so far made it possible to compensate for economic fluctuations in various markets. However, the previously high order stock has decreased in the course of the year, which now results in the need to register short -time work. This reduction in working time is temporarily scheduled for six months.

Marc Wiedenmann, an marketing employee at the location, found that a noticeable recovery of the "generally cooled economy" could not be seen. This means that in certain areas of Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH in the coming months, "subsequent relief" can be assumed. In order to enable the necessary adjustments, the reduction of overtime is also considered.

There is also the possibility that the fact will be closed on a few days in order to better control the economic effects and to bridge the time until possible stabilization. In the adjacent location in Ochsenhausen, the short -time work ended on March 31. This shows that some employees are only temporarily affected by these measures, while others now have to wait to adapt to the new circumstances.
