10.06.03 – To repell pressure against the Opel workforce! The medias indicate since a few days as if the workers of Opel wish to contribute annually 265 Million Euro to keep the plants going”. This would amount to more than a Billion Euro up to 2014. Actually the workforce of Opel was never asked about such a forgoing. It is implied that workers should forgo half of their Christmas and holiday funds and not claim any higher wages. Beside this Opel wants to reduce the workforce from 48,000 to 39,700 jobs in Europe. In Germany some 3,900 jobs will be rationalized. The whole scheme is called to be a programme without any “alternative” and the “lesser evil”.
