Herzogenaurach The automotive supplier Schaeffler puts four German locations with 600 employees to the test. This was announced by the company on Thursday. The works council and the IG metal announced resistance. Works council chairman Norbert Lenhard said: “We expect the management to implement the necessary changes without site closures and without redundancies.”

Schaeffler had announced in early March, in light of significantly weaker deals Germany 700 jobs and another 200 in other European countries,

The first measures concern the locations Kaltennordheim (Thuringia), Hamm (Rhineland-Palatinate), Unna and Steinhagen (North Rhine-Westphalia), said a company spokeswoman in Herzogenaurach. Schaeffler wants to avoid terminations and closures as far as possible. There are also sales calls. But production could also be shifted abroad.
