If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I just read this

Across the European Union, factories are closing or quietly scaling back production. Chemical plants, steel mills, fertilizer producers – the most energy-intensive segments of the economy – are either relocating abroad or shutting down altogether.

This is no temporary setback. Europe has not emerged from the energy crisis of 2022 and it won’t anytime soon. What is most alarming about this predicament is that Europe’s leadership is unable to grasp what is happening to it.

So….its not happening then ?

Is your news saying factories are doing great, new production is opening up, more jobs are being created, economy is expanding ?

I’m confused

Seems they intend to end manufacturing in Germany in June and expand their other plants. Seems a questionable move from the outside, given that Germany is their primary market. I'd guess energy costs may be a consideration, and are lower in Spain where they already have a plant, but we'll see I guess. You would have thought they'd have presented a plan to the union, but they have a track record of poor relatons with staff.

I like the

The Horst Brandstätter Group, to which the cult brand belongs,

I don’t like

Around 350 employees are affected by the closure of the plant.

Self inflicted

The Group justifies the move with massively increased costs in Germany

I don’t understand

. The company wants to strengthen competitiveness and use synergies within the Group

the quote that stood out the most

"The responsibility for years of mismanagement is now to be passed on to the employees again. Together with the works council and our trade union network, we will not allow this without resistance
