before the Write in mid-June, the employees have there been in the last few years in the bird-Berger company incidents, which have led to resentment among the staff. For 13 months, Jonas is already working in short-time work – and that’s not enough: “in 2017, an agreement was made that we work two hours longer, so for free. It is reported but on the part of the management of any work or cancellations to 2022 locking type”, s. in conversation with

. “The enthusiasm we staff was limited, but we had to accept it. In addition, the management has told us that this money is invested in the future.” The staff have seen, however, until today, according to S. nothing: “Except that was deleted, or a flash arrester installed, we have noticed in Alsfeld from these investments in the future, nothing.” And also the agreement that there will be no plant closure in Alsfeld, is for the management lapses – “the wish to challenge the agreement now”.
Great for the future of music in January
rumors about a plant closure in Alsfeld gave it already longer, “the talk is, of course, always”. But the jobs seemed in January of this year for sure, “because as you have presented to us the new company policies and the restructuring of us and assured that the location in Alsfeld is maintained,” explains Jonas. In the middle of June burst with the employee letter, which was sent by Mail to each individual, the bomb: closes The factory in Alsfeld.
The management said in the Letter: “This is a development we are very sorry, but without these measures, we see no Chance to give the Kamax locations and thus also the remaining employees a perspective for the future.” We have prepared our planning very carefully and know that this is for the employees in Alsfeld is a very difficult decision,” it says. In addition, the line calls as the primary reason for the current critical Corona location.
“Corona is just a> pretext,” <p However, the employees of the Kamax not believe: "This is only a pretext. Who had been longer in the minds of you close Alsfeld – the current Situation plays them perfectly in the cards. If it looks so bad, why you should build in Slovakia, a new plant? The a does not fit the other. Because you feel really angry." Although the IG Metall Union is currently in negotiations with the Kamax-business line, p. is convinced that it will come to closure in the next year. "Last week two people were from the management at our factory. One of the two has said that they advise employees to seek as soon as possible a new Job. Because you want to close the factory definitely."
For Jonas, this is the only print shop: “The search for a new Job, must not be terminated by the Kamax. So the management is good, because if from the 220 man already 70, sooner go, you can say that you “just have to dismiss” 150 people. That sounds much better of course.” However, how the employees should react now? Better now really look for a new Job, or wait? “It is difficult. You don’t want to sit at some point on the road, but if you go early, there is the severance. And you want to get the year long work, also.”
First of all, it goes for all of the Kamax location in Alsfeld, even if the employees neither Elan is there, yet the mood is good. “Worse, it’s not at all. We ask ourselves, for what we are doing this work at all.” (Luisa Diegel)
