Employees with Russian roots transferred

According to a report by the “Schwarzwälder Bote”, those affected reacted with great incomprehension and were deeply disappointed. IG Metall was critical. It is understandable that H&K is sensitive here, said trade unionist Georg Faigle. However, it is problematic “that there is no procedure agreed with the works council for such cases at Heckler & Koch”. He understands that the employees felt discriminated once morest and under general suspicion. “The employer’s action, as it has now been carried out, is not proportionate,” said Faigle. “It should therefore be withdrawn and a regulation created together with the works council.”
