The Lufthansa wants in their catering subsidiary LSG Sky Chefs nearly every third job in Germany . deleted
After a concept proposal to the Executive Board, the number of production sites in Europe could be reduced to 7 from now 23, as the Lufthansa subsidiary on Wednesday a report of the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” confirmed. In Germany would cease to apply when implementing 1700 by 5500 full-time jobs, in Europe are 2400 jobs in the balance. The Verdi union insists however, on a collective agreement, which excludes compulsory redundancies at the LSG Sky Chefs to the end of 2020. ‘/ P>
The reasons for the conversion LSG called altered airline concepts, high cost pressure and a change in purchasing behavior of airlines particularly in Europe. The plans are in a “very early concept stage,” said a spokeswoman LSG. A reaction was socially acceptable possible in large part by the year 2021st but is decidedly anything yet.
One thing is however already the closure of operations in Dresden at the end 2016 and Bremen a year later. Moreover, the dishwashing service a Frankfurt kitchen to be outsourced. The LSG sweeps with these measures around 150 jobs, as the spokeswoman confirmed.
“This is a clear breach of trust,” said a spokesman for the trade union Verdi in Berlin the project. The workers waived the collective bargaining agreement in 2013 on money to keep their jobs. “The plans can not be implemented,” said the spokesman. Apparently trying Lufthansa to intimidate the workers targeted.
The company has a global market leader with sales of EUR 3.0 billion last around 33 500 employees. In 2015, LSG Sky Chefs increased its operating profit (adjusted EBIT) by 12.5 percent to 99 million euros. The medium-term prospects for the future, management assesses still skeptical: It is with the historical structures no longer competitive and therefore not profitable. This should be understood in particular the high labor costs in Germany
The plan is therefore a shift in kitchens abroad. In the first quarter of next year, Lufthansa wants to open a new central kitchen in the Czech Republic with 30 to 40 employees. Here in particular, should the logistics will be tested whether, among other German airports can be supplied from there. The question would thus LSG subsidiaries inter alia, in Hannover, Leipzig, Berlin, Stuttgart and Hamburg.
Despite constant gains was the globally positioned catering subsidiary of Lufthansa already several times for discussion. With ready-prepared food in railways and supermarkets, the company is trying to open up new business.
