Christiane Benner: “The workforce is highly motivated and experienced in navigating change. It therefore meets all the requirements for electrified powertrains and electric mobility. IG Metall, IG BCE, and employee representatives will work with employers to define binding measures on how to successfully manage this transition and ensure that employees at the affected locations are retrained and retained in employment. The existing strengths of individual sites must also be leveraged for electric mobility.”
