The burden of the crisis to pay those they have caused, not Arbeiter_innen!
In mid-March announced the voestalpine Board from the rail station TSTG in Duisburg. This is due to the alleged lack of lucrative. But in truth voestalpine has engaged in cartel agreements, which finally flew.
TSTG is the main supplier of the „Deutsche Bahn AG“ and is by the cartel agreements, the „German Bahn AG“ have cheated several hundred million euros. So it came now to the fact that the parent company will close because of their activities, the subsidiary in Duisburg. By the end of the year they will release all 450 Mitarbeiter_innen.
Thus the German cartel authority determined in mid-2011 against the parent company voestalpine and against the German subsidiary TSTG and ten other companies. Its consequences, the closure of the TSTG work must be borne by the Group and may not be passed on to the back of the Arbeiter_innen.
The TSTG work is mainly but closed to make the main plant in Austria unrivaled. This seeks to develop the voestalpine work to a monopoly in terms of rail production. A sign of this is that the parent company makes no effort, the plant in Duisburg for sale.
The workforce must fight against these criminal activities!
There currently is still a large number of jobs available, then the Arbeiter_innen have the opportunity to move on to the labor dispute in to be care for the preservation of their jobs.
We, as ATIF, condemn the criminal activities and challenge to fight together against such practices that threaten our jobs. It can not be that several attempts are made, the burden of the capitalist crisis to pass on to the workers! The TSTG work is not an isolated example, similar approach is also provided for the workers of Schlecker and the Opel workforce. We have to stand together and put us together against the machinations of the capitalists to defend!
We Request:
The preservation of jobs, whether at Schlecker, Opel, Thyssen or TSTG
The company should bear the consequences yourself!
Stop the short-time work, temporary work, one-euro jobs and related criminal activities!
12 € per hour minimum wage!
6 hours‘ work a day at full pay!
A finger can be broken. Five fingers are a fist!
Long live international solidarity!
