Meillerghp drop bamberg
For almost three months, the 190 employees of meillerghp on kronacher strabe were worried about losing their jobs after the company’s headquarters in schwandorf applied to the amberg district court for a so-called protective shield. It is an attempt to save the company under the rule of the old directors.
But in the meantime it has become clear that in order to bring the specialist for personalized advertising mail out of the red, jobs are not only being cut in schwandorf and bamberg. Meillerghp wants to close the bamberg site altogether. This is what the works council wanted to say at a works meeting in schwandorf a few days ago.
"We have to assume that the relocation in bamberg is a done deal", said jorg radtke, works council member in bamberg and deputy chairman of the general works council, on wednesday. Among employees, the de-recognition is rough. "Motivation is completely in the cellar. I think most people have come to terms with that," says radtke, reports radtke.
He and his works council colleague martin stemplinger were in berne on tuesday. Together with more than 30 other bamberg employees, they protested in front of the headquarters of the swiss postal service. Meillerghp is 35 percent owned by the swiss postal service and 65 percent by the austrian postal service. At the shareholders’ meeting of osterreichische post AG last week in vienna, bambergers also stood in front of the city hall and handed out flyers. "If job cuts in connection with the relocation of bamberg are unavoidable, then at least on socially fair terms", this is the message that was also repeated in berne.
Radtke and stemplinger want to achieve one thing above all else: a social plan should provide equal pay for laid-off employees as in the case of a similar restructuring in bamberg in 2011. They are not satisfied with the two and a half months’ salary provided for in the insolvency proceedings in self-administration. Some of the meillerghp employees have been with the company for more than three decades, and have experienced several restructuring measures. And now it’s all over in bamberg.
As of wednesday, the company was still keeping mum about the restructuring plan. It is expected that today the district court of amberg will confirm the independent administration, said press spokeswoman nadine winkelhaus. On monday meillerghp will disclose the details of the restructuring concept. Then the workforce will probably finally have the sad certainty: the chapter of meillerghp in bamberg is coming to an end.
