German government officials are prioritizing the preservation of jobs within the steel and automotive industries, signaling a concerted effort to bolster these vital sectors. Speaking on Monday, SPD Secretary General Tim Klüssendorf emphasized the necessity of a robust framework to safeguard employment in Germany.
The focus, he stated, centers on establishing favorable conditions for both industry and the broader economy. This includes ensuring competitive energy prices alongside strategic investments within German locations. Furthermore, the importance of fair and equitable wage structures – “orderly tariff wages” – was highlighted as a key factor in guaranteeing employment security and fostering positive working conditions.
A high-level summit focused on the automotive sector, scheduled at the Federal Chancellery this week, will explore strategies to incentivize the adoption of electric mobility. A central aim is to provide consumers with the confidence that purchasing electric vehicles represents a financially sound and sustainable decision. Klüssendorf asserted that securing future employment within the German automotive industry is inextricably linked to the continued advancement and consumer acceptance of electric mobility.
