Stuttgart Werner Weresch is slightly off the far right outside on the stage in Zuffenhausen’s parent plant, as Porsches eloquent Worker leader Uwe Hück his Change in politics explained. The trained car mechanic with the Schnauzer is smaller and stockier than the well-trained Hück. With the physical presence of the Ex-European champion in Thai boxing can not keep up with his 57-year-old deputy.
On the subject of experience already. Weresch works as Hück since 1984 at the sports car manufacturer. He has been active in employee representation for decades and has been on the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG for 20 years. “We’ve done a lot of fighting together,” says Weresch. “Without Uwe we would not have achieved many things.”
But you should not underestimate the former handball player, who is still active today as a referee. “Good assertiveness” is attributed to him, pronounced sense of justice as well.

The passionate rarity collector cultivates a different style than Hück. Less rumbling, more listening and more openly arguing. But there will be no radical break, says the works council. The job could be more unpleasant for the divorced father of a child than for Hück in the nine golden boom years.
If Porsche’s electrical strategy meets a weakening economy, the pressure on the workforce could rise. Hück went that way before it got uncomfortable.
Although Hück now moves Harald Buck into the Porsche supervisory board. But it should come as no surprise if Weresch as the man with the most experience in the employee camp will also take over the vacant post as vice-councilor. In any case, Weresch will have to get used to standing on the stage in the future.
