controversy

Al-Saleh is to bring the Telekom subsidiary, which has been ailing for years, on a growth path, in particular through savings in administrative costs, locations and management levels. The plan is to cut or relocate around 10,000 jobs worldwide over a period of three years. Works council and trade union Ver.di feared that less profitable business areas could be bundled in a kind of " bad bank " and sold. In the meantime, a reconciliation of interests and a social plan has been negotiated with the employee representatives , which among other things provides for a reduction of 5,600 jobs in Germany by 2021. Operational layoffs should be avoided as far as possible and half of the costs saved should be invested in growth areas.
