Workers in the factories of the US Ford car manufacturers in the West German city began on Wednesday Historical first strike, mainly leading to production stalls, while opposing planned release.
The strike is the first to be held in almost 100 years of work in two factories, which were founded in 1930. years.
Union spokesman IG Metal David Lüdtke said the work was completely stopped, and the strike affected the entire location – including production, development and administration.
Only the necessary personality is allowed to access through the earmarked gate. If anyone insisted on the strike interruption would be allowed to enter them – “But first we will talk to them,” Lüdtke said.
By 09.00 in the morning, only three people defied the call for a strike and last gate.
The strike should end up on Thursday morning after the last night shifts and aims to increase pressure on management to review cost reduction plans.
The Management Board plans to abolish 2,900 jobs by the end of 2027. year in Cologne, which also includes Ford’s European headquarters and employs a total of 11,500 people – which is far less than 20,000 in 2018. Years.
Ig Metal, one of the most powerful unions in Germany, which represents workers in different production sectors, advocates the exchange rate change, as well as for high severanceers for workers who agree voluntarily or whose jobs are left to other companies.
