Washing machine production in Nauen [Photo by Pressebild BSH Hausgeräte GmbH ]In total, 1,400 jobs are to be cut at BSH. At the time, the BSH works council and IG Metall officials declared that the “washing machine of the future” could also have been produced in Gartenfeld. Like all corporations, Bosch works closely with the IG Metall apparatus. The attacks on the workforce are drawn up and agreed there, and the respective regional and plant-level IG Metall apparatus then implements them. Only in this way can the divisions from plant to plant, sector to sector and country to country be overcome.
