Bayer MaterialScience ends reduced working hours at German sites
“The reason for lifting this special arrangement is the improvement in orders. Nevertheless the future business development of our customer industries still remains uncertain,” said Dr. Tony Van Osselaer, Labor Director at Bayer MaterialScience AG. Short-time working would mainly have affected employees in production. “Thanks to the solidarity of all our employees, this was prevented,” said Thomas de Win, Chairman of the Central Works Council of Bayer AG. Managerial employees of Bayer MaterialScience were also affected by the cuts, which in their case included the cancellation of this year’s round of pay increases.
Similar measures were also taken at the international sites, adapted in each case to their economic situation.
