After
a strike and tough negotiations, works council, IG Metall union and the
management of Automotive Lighting Reutlingen (AL) came to an agreement
concerning the relocation of production. Key points were:
no redundancies till the end of 2015; continuation of one assembly line
for reflectors in Reutlingen; setting up of a working group to develop
a sustainable concept for the Reutlingen plant; the design of important
future technologies in Reutlingen. The union regards the agreement as
an example for similar situations of relocation (See also this Collective Bargaining Newsletter Year 3 January 2010).
