Wildcat strike at German car part manufacturer
Karmann in Osnabrueck manufactures convertibles (1,400 workers) and roof-systems (1,100 workers), for example for Mercedes, Audi and Renault. Workers accepted wage cuts and workers in the other departments (convertible roof parts) are supposed to repay a 30 million Euro credit the company 'needed' to keep up production.
On 21st of February workers went on a wildcat strike, after the media announced that 1,400 workers will lose their jobs by May 2009, there will be no compensation/severance pay - which was a usual way in the past to sweeten redundancies, workers in bigger companies received up to 100,000 Euro.
