EISENACH / RÜSSELSHEIM (dpa-AFX) – Thuringia’s Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left) has accused the parent company Stellantis of its problems at the expense of after the announced several months of shutdown of the Opel plant in Eisenach To regulate taxpayers. It does not go that an international corporation decides laxly, “he is moving production away from Germany because he can get short-time work benefits here,” said Ramelow on Friday at an event at the Federal Labor Court in Erfurt.
Ramelow described it as a “form of unculture” that the workforce and works council were not informed in good time, although there was a works meeting at Opel on Tuesday in Eisenach. Ramelow was a union official before his time as a politician.
Everything indicates that the limited volume of electronic components due to supply bottlenecks is being used by Stellantis for the in Eisenach to build SUV Grandland in France in the next few months, Ramelow told the German press agency. “Short-time working allowance is not there to enable production to be relocated.” He expects the decision to be clarified properly with the works council and the Federal Employment Agency. MDR Aktuell had previously reported on Ramelow’s criticism of the Opel parent company.
An Opel spokesman said on request that the company did not want to hear the statements made by Ramelow take a position. He spoke of a temporary closure of the plant in Eisenach, which currently employs around 1,300 people who are to go on short-time work. “Opel traditionally increases the short-time work allowance to 90 percent.” The company is in talks with the social partners.
According to the company spokesman, as many Grandlands are to be built in Sochaux, France, as the limited supply of electronic components allows. The decision had been made because, in view of the overall drastic supply bottlenecks, other models were also produced there on the same platform as the Grandland.
It is about a temporary relocation. “Production will be brought back to Eisenach at the beginning of 2022,” affirmed the spokesman. Opel has always kept its promises to the workforce in Eisenach. “Nevertheless, we are aware that there is a certain concern.”
Opel had announced that it would close its plant in Eisenach due to delivery bottlenecks for important components next week to close for the time being until the end of the year. The background to this is the global shortage of semiconductors, which other automobile manufacturers are also suffering from and which are also short-time working. According to IG Metall in Frankfurt am Main, Opel is so far the only manufacturer to shut down a plant by the beginning of 2022./rot/DP/zb
