technological change threatens jobs at Preh

The current developments at Peh, an automotive supplier in Bad Neustadt, are also skillfully thrown into the challenges that many companies face in the technological upheaval phase. The Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger commented on the planned job cancellations on Friday and emphasized that he had only limited options for gaining jobs.

workplace reduction affects hundreds of employees

In Bad Neustadt, 420 jobs are to be dismantled by the end of the year, which is a difficult blow for the workforce. A total of almost 2,000 people are employed there. As early as the previous year, another automotive supplier, Valeo, announced, 310 jobs in electromotor production to move to Poland.

structural problems in the automotive industry

Aiwanger emphasized that the current challenges at Peh are not an isolated case. Rather, they reflected the structural problems with which the automotive industry is confronted. The minister admitted that federal politics was required to find solutions to structural change.

optimistic outlook despite the difficult location

Despite the dark prospects, Aiwanger strives for optimism and promises that nobody will get into social emergencies. He would like to support the employees concerned in placing other companies and industries. He also offers to offer technology support programs to support the region to improve the situation.

funding measures for the region in prospect

Aiwanger plans to invite representatives from Rhön-Grabfeld to Munich together with the Bavarian Ministry of Science to advise on potential support measures. It is to be checked how the Free State can support the region in order to cushion structural change and create new perspectives.

The situation at Preh illustrates the urgency to deal with the effects of technological change on the labor market. It is a wake -up call for companies, politics and society to look for future -proof solutions in order to successfully design change.
