Berlin (dpa) - From the management's point of view, the employees of Bombardier Transportation (BT) do not have to fear any major job cuts after the takeover by Alstom.
“Our books are full of orders, we need our German engineers and factories to process them.
The next two to three years are all about that, ”said BT CEO Danny Di Perna of the“ Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung ”.
“As far as we know today, there will be no need for a restructuring program in the foreseeable future.
But of course we are continuously optimizing the organization. "
The French TGV manufacturer Alstom wants to complete the takeover of the competitor by the end of January. Employee representatives view the merger with concern. Bombardier Transportation has several plants in Germany, Alstom operates its largest plant in Salzgitter. Rüdiger Grube, the chairman of the supervisory board of Bombardier Transportation and former head of Deutsche Bahn, told the newspaper: "Alstom cannot and will not ignore the power of the German locations."
