Indorama Guben: IGBCE fights against impending 210 job strokes
Shock for Indorama employees in Guben!
On Thursday, September 26, 2024, there was a dramatic announcement: The managing director of Indorama in Guben said the workforce knew that 210 employees should lose their job and to be closed. A heartbreaking slap in the face for the committed employees!
The IGBCE union sounds alarm! Ramona Weiland, the works council chairman of Indorama, is horrified by the catastrophic decision: "The workforce finds the deletion of 2/3 of the employee as a slap in the face." What a devastating message for a traditional location that has been in existence under the former name Trevira!
no dialogue with the line!
The fact that the IGBCE and social partners were again not included in the decision -making processes is particularly frightening. They only learned about the terrible plans through the works councils. "It is a new setback for the region and the employees," explains Reni Richter, the district manager of IGBCE Lausitz, and continues: "After the breakdown of around 100 jobs a and a half ago, the new announcement is twice.
Despite intensive offers of help from the political side, including assurances of Minister Steinbach and Mayor Mahro, the management remains deaf for dialogue. "It seems that the company management has bowed to the pressure of the owner, regardless of the employees," said Richter.
protests before the work!
The anger and disappointment among the employees is tangible! "The colleagues are disappointed and angry after all the deprivations and empty promises of recent years," emphasizes Weiland. The IGBCE is already planning campaigns: "We will make our protest clear and show presence before the work!"
In close cooperation with the works council, the further procedure is now being determined. The goal is clear: get the best possible result for the employees!
stay tuned because the struggle for the jobs in Guben continues! This is another chapter in the history of the chemical industry in Lusatia, which has a decisive impact on the region.
