“With TSMC and the joint ESMC project, a major piece of Germany’s industrial future and independence is coming to the country. Investing taxpayer money to promote the future is the right decision. However, it should be clear that the right conditions must be created not only for the company but also for the employees—and that means collective bargaining agreements and secure, well-paid jobs. In this way, we’re working together to create attractive opportunities for skilled workers from the region, across Germany, and internationally. This ensures that Silicon Saxony remains a model of success.”
