Unternehmer klauen als Panzerknacker verkleidet Geldsäcke aus dem Betrieb<br/>bei AIOS Überherrn/Saarland.<br/>Am 21. September werden die Beschäftigten der Automobilindustrie ein deutliches Zeichen setzen – bundesweit bei unzähligen betrieblichen Aktionen, bei unzähligen Zulieferbetrieben und Herstellern. Nicht länger werden sie sich zu Sündenböcken machen lassen für eine Krise, die sie nicht verursacht haben. Nicht länger werden sie die Zeche für Managementfehler und die Folgen geopolitischer Konflikte zahlen. Damit ist jetzt Schluss! Die Beschäftigten sagen: Jetzt reicht’s!

Financial Investors The Munich-based A+A financial investors strike again

IG Metall Vorstand  The private equity firms Aequita and Accursia are buying up metal companies and bleeding them dry—now including AIOS (headliners for Mercedes) in Überherrn (Saarland) and the iron foundry in Ueckermünde (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). The workers are fighting back. At AIOS, a strike vote is now on the horizon.

Pension The four biggest myths about “retirement at 63”—and why they’re all wrong

IG Metall Vorstand  Undeserved, unfair, too expensive? The full pension after 45 years of insurance contributions is hotly contested. A look at the facts shows that the critics are wrong. Those who want to abolish the “pension at 63” are diverting attention from the real injustices.

Health A doctor’s note starting on day 1? Why that’s nonsense

IG Metall Vorstand  Your stomach is acting up, your throat is swollen—and now you have to go straight to the doctor: That’s how things are supposed to work in the future, if the federal government has its way. The coalition wants to make a doctor’s note mandatory for employees starting on the first day of illness. But there are actually plenty of reasons against it.

Long-Term Care Reform Making long-term care affordable: But fair!

IG Metall Vorstand  The long-term care insurance system is running out of money. The federal government wants to plug the gaps with an austerity bill. But that would mean new hardships for millions of people in need of care and their families. Yet there is a socially responsible alternative to mere benefit cuts.
