Automaker: Endzeitstimmung for Opel engineers in Rüsselsheim
One thing is certain: there is a need for action at the Opel Development Center ITEZ in Rüsselsheim. The heart of the car manufacturer suffers from overcapacity. The best way to deal with this is the planned partnership with Segula, argues Opel. One continues to be in discussion with the social partners. “We offer jobs and are ready to talk,” assures a Segula spokesperson.
The companies are determined to complete the transaction in the second quarter. However, with the resolution of the Tariff Commission, this timetable could be shaken. The workers’ representatives probably want to convene a new meeting of the panel until 10 April. And if there are no concessions, it is said from trade union circles, the dispute could finally escalate.
