Insolvenzantrag: Verdi: Galeria-Beschäftigte brauchen schnell Klarheit
Noch ist unklar, ob die Beschäftigten von Galeria Insolvenzgeld erhalten. Die Gewerkschaft Verdi drückt aufs Tempo.
The union Verdi has called on the parties involved in Galeria's insolvency proceedings to provide quick clarity for the employees, according to the source. Verdi board member Silke Zimmer emphasized that the employees are still uncertain about whether their salaries will be guaranteed by Galeria or if insolvency payments will be made.
She urged the responsible authorities to clarify the situation as soon as possible. The situation at Galeria is described as difficult, with the key issue being that employees need to be reliably and promptly informed about what comes next. They are concerned about their own existence and that of their families, stating that they should not be burdened with the mistakes of management.
The responsible authorities must now work together with employees and works councils to develop a viable perspective. The decision on insolvency payments has not yet been made. Galeria filed for insolvency proceedings at Düsseldorf District Court on Friday, marking the fourth such claim by the company in six years. It remains unclear which locations will be closed.
The business at the 83 stores continues for now. Whether the approximately 12,000 employees will receive insolvency payments is still unresolved. The decision on the allowance rests with the Federal Agency for Labor – when is unclear. Düsseldorf District Court has meanwhile ordered the provisional insolvency proceedings for Galeria and appointed legal counsel Frank Kebekus as the provisional insolvency administrator.
