Michelin: Social Plan for Homburg, Karlsruhe, Trier

The recent agreement between the tire manufacturer Michelin and the employee representatives about a compensation for interests and social plan for the Homburg, Karlsruhe and Trier locations has a positive effect on the workforce. Especially in Homburg, where 850 out of 1300 jobs should be broken down in order to cease the production of truck tires and semi-manufacturers by 2025, the financial compensation and support measures are a relief for those affected.

The volunteer program, which is part of the agreement, aims to avoid operational terminations and to make personnel reduction socially acceptable. Older employees in particular who are about to retire receive additional options to facilitate the transition to retirement. The transfer company offers qualification measures and support for a job search to open up a new perspective for the employees concerned.

The plant management emphasizes that the employees now have clarity over the next steps and know the services they can count on. This gives you the opportunity to build a new professional future. The ongoing discussions about possible reuse concepts at the Homburg and Karlsruhe locations show that Michelin endeavors to maintain jobs in the region in the long term and to create alternative employment opportunities.

The agreement between Michelin and the employee representatives underlines the importance of a socially acceptable personnel loss at a time when economic changes and restructuring are necessary. By creating transparent processes and support measures, not only helps the employees concerned, but also sends a positive signal to the entire community that social responsibility and employee well -being in corporate change are taken into account.
