IndustriAll Europe and Hitachi ABB Power Grids’ trade unions from all over Europe express their full solidarity with the Hanau workers and support their demands to the company: At the same time, Hitachi ABB Hanau workers hit the road to demonstrate in front of the company’s headquarters in Zürich, in full respect of social distancing and COVID-19 protective rules.
The future of 350 workers and their families is now at stake!Ĭonfronted by the brutality of the announcement and the lack of dialogue with their management, Hitachi ABB Hanau workers and their trade union IG Metall have organised massive protests to oppose the plant closure.įurther to a successful warning strike held on 19 November in Hanau, IG Metall called for an additional full day of action today in Hanau.
Despite all this, the Hitachi ABB Power Grids management has made the outrageous decision to shut down its plant in Hanau Großauheim (Germany). Its highly skilled workers have shown full commitment and tremendous flexibility over the past months to adapt to the pandemic situation. Last year, it reached, an agreement with worker representatives on the repositioning of the site to improve its economic situation. Hitachi ABB management previously expressed commitment to develop its Hanau site in Germany. We urge ABB Headquarters to intervene directly, and to respect people, workers and their families.
