Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the Audi plant in Neckarsulm is threatened with closure. Audi has activated the so-called bad weather clause and demanded negotiations on job cuts and working conditions. The site with more than 15,000 employees must present a viable savings plan within a year; otherwise, closure may loom. Citing assessments from economic experts, Boeminghaus wrote that around 50,000 jobs in the region could be affected by a closure. About 1,000 suppliers depend on production, and up to a quarter of the regional industrial value creation could be lost. He added that it now concerns a total of seven to eight plants, including those of VW, Audi, and Mercedes. He named WELT and dpa as sources. https://t.co/0fbpxaHufh #Automobilindustrie #Neckarsulm #Stellenabbau (translated)

Neckarsulm has great industrial expertise and an impressive history. But tradition alone does not secure a future.
