At a joint conference attended by 280 women works council members from 150 companies, the participants issued a declaration calling for humanity and solidarity and opposing populism and misanthropy.

Christiane Benner, Second Chair of IG Metall, welcomed this commitment: “Hate and exclusion are not the answer to the complex challenges of our time. Those who incite hatred and sow division destroy solidarity among workers. Those who drive a wedge between us weaken the workforce and are therefore our adversaries. Our unity and our diversity are our greatest strengths.”
