Hohenmölsen (dpa/sa) - Unions and works councils have made their interests in structural change clear. "Transformation can only succeed with reliable framework conditions for the economy and opportunities for employees to participate," said the regional DGB manager Karsten Priedemann on Monday in Hohenmölsen (Burgenlandkreis). The "Revierwendekonferenz" was primarily concerned with the situation of companies and municipalities in the opencast mining region.
"For us, the focus is on securing and creating collectively agreed and co-determined jobs," said a DGB spokeswoman. You have to use the opportunities and give the people in the Central German Revier a perspective with better working and living conditions. Cross-state agreements are also necessary. According to the DGB, the conference is a networking and discussion opportunity for employees and municipal actors.
