The IG Metall trade union sharply criticizes the final end for the Bosch Power Tools company in Sebnitz. "At no time did the management give the site a chance to achieve a turnaround and give its approximately 280 employees prospects for the future," said Uwe Garbe, First Authorized Representative of IG Metall Ostsachsen.
Garbe accused the company of using legal means to force the works council into a so-called conciliation committee procedure at an early stage "in order to wind up the site as quickly as possible and to pull the wool over our colleagues' eyes when it came to severance pay". "This is scandalous. This is no way to treat people," it said.
