In the European car company Stellantis, the dismantling of the German subsidiary Opel is apparently continuing.
According to employee information from the works council, employees of the development center in Rüsselsheim were threatened in personnel interviews that they would relocate their tasks to Morocco for cost reasons.
You should look around for a new job.
Rüsselsheim / Eisenach - The newspapers of the VRM Group and the “Wirtschaftswoche” had previously reported.
The company initially did not comment on the information on Wednesday.
The employee representatives feel that their rights of co-determination have been violated, especially since extensive and uncoordinated presentations on a new organizational structure were also presented in purchasing.
"There are increasing indications that the next Stellantis reorganization is not only imminent, but is to be implemented in some areas illegally without prior information, advice and negotiation with the employee representatives," says the information letter.
Legal steps have been initiated.
Last week, Stellantis announced plans to separate the two production plants in Rüsselsheim and Eisenach from Opel Automobile GmbH.
IG Metall has announced protests for October 29th.
The threat of dismantling only serves the goal of weakening successful participation in Germany, said Opel works council chief Uwe Baum last Friday.

This in turn merged this year with Fiat-Chrysler to form the Stellantis Group based in Amsterdam.
The company is the fourth largest automaker in the world and is led by former PSA boss Carlos Tavares.
In the tough restructuring course for Opel, IG Metall has agreed protection against dismissal for employees until July 2025.
