The IG Metall has called for a strike at the Ford works in Cologne. The work stoppage is scheduled to begin on Wednesday morning and last until the end of the night shift on Thursday morning, according to the trade union’s announcement on Monday. The action is aimed at opposing the planned reduction of 2,900 jobs at the site in the coming years. The employee side criticizes management errors, such as the start of electric mobility and the model strategy and the lack of a sustainable long-term concept. The last time, the IG Metall members voted in a referendum with 93.5% in favor of a strike. The trade union demands job security through compensation packages.
