IG Metall: Companies must commit to Germany - Germany’s industrial future hinges on aerospace and skilled labor, union leader insists
Christiane Benner, head of Germany’s IG Metall union, has urged companies to reaffirm their commitment to the country as a business location. She highlighted Germany’s strengths in technology and skilled labour while criticising unproductive debates about workers’ productivity and longer hours.
Benner emphasised that Germany remains a strong industrial base, particularly in sectors like aerospace, aerospace engineering, defence, and medical technology. She pointed to these areas as proof of the country’s ongoing success despite pandemic challenges.
Benner expects businesses to maintain their presence in Germany, citing its technological edge and skilled employees. Her statements aim to shift focus toward investment and growth rather than divisive workplace disputes. The union’s stance reflects a push for stability in Germany’s industrial sector.
