Highlights: Werner Nau, head master of the bakers' guild in Fürstenfeldbruck, questions the four-day week. The industry has hardly any staff, throws everything cheaply on the market, people only buy in the supermarket. The bakers are a shrinking industry and have to stick together, one consideration would be to hold a regulars' table every three months. "The fact that trainees come to us is over. We have to compete for the trainees we want," says Franz Höfelsauer.

Fürstenfeldbruck – At the general meeting of the bakers' guild at the Hotel Post, head master Werner Nau let off a lot of steam in the direction of politics.

In his job, for example, the electricity price cap of 40 cents does not help him at all. Nau would have liked to invite the constituency deputies MdB Katrin Staffler or MdL Benjamin Miskowitsch to the meeting to discuss it with them. Nau also questions the four-day week. The industry has hardly any staff, throws everything cheaply on the market, people only buy in the supermarket. "But the real economic power is us, the skilled trades."


It's hard to find staff

The next problem is apprenticeship training. It is difficult to find trainees. Nau does not think much of the idea of lowering the standards and making the exams simpler in order to make the training more attractive. Nor from a free visit to the master school. "If we don't pay our staff decently, people will run away from us. What remains for us is to raise the prices until we earn the money to be able to pay our staff," says Nau "At some point, the pretzel will cost 1.50 euros."


The bakers are a shrinking industry and have to stick together, one consideration would be to hold a regulars' table every three months. "The only ones who take anything away from us are the industry. 90 percent of all baked goods are made by the industry with five percent personnel. With 95 percent of our staff, we make ten percent of sales," says Nau, explaining the difficult situation.


"We have to compete for the trainees we want."

Franz Höfelsauer, District Master Craftsman

In his welcoming address, district master craftsman Franz Höfelsauer informed about the current total of 33 trainees, including 13 bakers and 20 saleswomen. Efforts to requisition apprentices must be stepped up. So the "Day of Crafts" should also become a good platform. To this end, schools, parents and teachers should be involved at an early stage. "We probably have to work on that a bit," said Höfelsauer. "It's a fact: The fact that trainees come to us is over. We have to compete for the trainees we want."
