DB Schenker Job Security at Risk: Workers Protest in Bavaria
DB Schenker Workers Rally in Bavaria
In a significant show of resistance, employees of the logistics giant DB Schenker have banded together, fearing for their jobs as the company considers the sale of its railway subsidiary. Protesters gathered at three crucial sites: Nürnberg, Neufahrn in Upper Bavaria, and Lindau. According to the union Verdi, around 180 workers participated in these protests, which were part of nationwide demonstrations aimed at preserving employment.
Concerns Over Job Security
- Workers fear that the sale could lead to the elimination of 5,300 jobs across Germany.
- Verdi highlights that 15,000 jobs are currently at risk.
- Many employees in Bavaria are in the thousands, raising concerns about local employment impacts.
Callously, the company has provided minimal information regarding the future of these positions, intensifying fears within the workforce.
Demand for Job Preservation
- Employees are urging the retention of all operational sites.
- There's a call to maintain social standards, including tariff binding within regional agreements.
- The protests coincide with Verdi's initiative for 15-minute demonstrations during lunch breaks.
As negotiations continue, the urgency for clarity grows, with employees expressing discontent over the lack of updates from management.
