Kommentar: Das goldene Zeitalter der Industriearbeiter ist vorbei – deswegen sollten sie ihre Privilegien abgeben
Arbeitnehmer in der Industrie genießen Privilegien, die durch nichts mehr zu rechtfertigen sind. Wer die Industrie in Deutschland retten will, muss die Privilegien ihrer Arbeiter beschneiden.
The crisis gripping the industrial sector, particularly the automotive industry, is a clear-cut reality in recent times. This predicament was brought about by a policy that set an incorrect framework and caused a sluggish structural change in the global economy over several years. The public, along with the workers and companies directly affected by the industry, share a similar perspective on resolving this crisis.
The industrial crisis, as it stands, is not merely a policy issue; it also represents a crisis for the companies that grew complacent with their past successes, failed to acknowledge the competition from China, and did not take it seriously. Although this aspect is occasionally mentioned, it is seldom discussed that the crisis of the industrial sector also affects its workers.
What has caused a decline in the competitiveness of German industrial companies are not only incorrect conditions and management errors but also privileges that belong to the industrial workforce and are outdated.
