Thyssenkrupp Steel workers approve restructuring plan, await financing
Workers at Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe approved a restructuring plan with 77% support, contingent on financing from Thyssenkrupp AG. The plan includes job cuts, reduced working hours, and site closures, aiming to save over 100 million euros annually. Up to 11,000 jobs may be slashed, reducing production capacity significantly. The agreement, effective until September 2030, is crucial for Thyssenkrupp's strategy to spin off its steel business into a joint venture. Workers' representatives urge Thyssenkrupp AG to finalize financing arrangements.
