Governing bodies of the glass factories

The Gardelegen glassworks, a prominent producer of drinking vessels in Germany, has announced its closure, effective at the end of the month. This decision has sparked concerns and criticism from the BCE union, who question the lack of a social plan for the affected employees.

The company operating the Gardelegen glass factory remains unidentified in the provided search results. Despite this, the works council at the glassworks is still intending to legally review the closure to ensure the rights of the employees are protected.

A six-month notice period has been given to the employees, who must continue to be employed until the end of their notice period. However, the spokesperson for the Gardelegen glassworks has stated that the employees' rights are in question regarding the closure. It is questionable whether the rights of the employees have been adequately considered in the decision to close the facility.

The BCE union has expressed continued concern over the lack of a social plan for the employees. They believe that it is essential for the company to provide support during this transition period to minimise the impact on the workforce. The union has also criticised the lack of transparency and communication from the company regarding the closure.

MDR, a local broadcaster, is documenting the closure of the Gardelegen glassworks. They aim to shed light on the situation and provide updates on the legal review being conducted by the works council.

As the closure date approaches, the employees and the local community are left wondering about their future and the impact this decision will have on their lives. The BCE union continues to push for a social plan to be implemented, ensuring the workers are supported during this challenging time.
