The trade unions and the works council are unhappy about the state of affairs. According to them, Tata creates chaos, especially with the system of internal applications. In addition, the request for advice is incomplete: crucial information about new functions and function groups is missing. It also remains unclear how Tata sees the ‘transition from A to B’. The question arises: what is the plan behind the plan?
“Never waist a good crisis,” says trade union manager Cihan Lacin. The suspicion is that the company engages the crisis to cut more than necessary.
