News memo
The Bosch group’s European Works Council (EWC) has set up a working party to monitor changes taking place in the drive trains used in the motor vehicle industry, which are affecting its “Powertrain Solutions” division. On 21 November 2019, this working party, in conjunction with the EWC’s executive committee, issued a joint declaration of solidarity to coincide with the mobilisation days held in Germany, Italy and France (see also: A question for… Kerstin Mai, opposite). In this document, workers’ representatives call for future prospects to be set out for the group’s various sites and for its employees, with the emphasis on training and redeployment, to enable the employees concerned to go and work in other sectors of the group. They also state that a deterioration in working conditions resulting from competition among different sites, linked to new products, is unacceptable. The signatories rule out redundancies on economic grounds and call for social dialogue to be reinforced on affected sites “so that the transformation process can be fashioned to work in employees’ interests”.
