PRESS STATEMENT No gambling with Osram at the expense of the workers!

Irene Schulz, Executive Board Member of IG Metall, on the impending takeover of Osram

Irene Schulz: “IG Metall continues to oppose a takeover of Osram by AMS under the current conditions. David wants to take over Goliath, yet so far has refused to enter into legally sound, robust agreements to safeguard jobs. Osram, a company with a long history, is in the midst of transforming from a lighting manufacturer into a photonics company. IG Metall does not accept that this transformation process should be decided unilaterally based on shareholder interests in the capital market. That is why, for IG Metall, issues related to the future development of the company, its locations, and jobs are central to any transformation process.”
