Description
At Schefenacker AG, a supplier of vehicle rear mirrors, the workers' council, labour unions and management agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement for Schefenacker's German operations. The new agreement defers planned pay increases, introduces a more flexible arrangement of payroll procedures and reorganises the payment of vacation and Christmas holiday allowances. The agreement prevents the closure of the German operations at least until 2010. 300 jobs will be cut in a 'socially responsible' way.
