Frankfurt (dpa-AfX)-IG Metall boss Christiane Benner demands a contribution to coping with the crisis in the industry from the shareholders of the car manufacturers in Germany. The shareholders should cut back at the dividend height. “We have to go through there,” said Benner.
The German carmakers Mercedes-Benz (Mercedes-Benz Group (ex Daimler)), BMW and the VW group, which also include the sports car manufacturer Porsche and Audi, recently announced significant burglaries. Nevertheless, the dividend at 6.30 euros per dividend -authorized master share (Volkswagen (VW) ST) or 6.36 euros per preferred share (Volkswagen (VW) VZ) was at 6.30 euros per dividend. At BMW and Mercedes it was 4.30 euros each.
At Volkswagen, mainly benefits from the Porsche SE (Porsche Automobil VZ), which holds almost a third of the stem and preferred shares, from the distribution. Porsche SE is again controlled by the Porsche and Piëch families, which also hold half of the share capital. From the dividend at BMW, half of the total of 2.7 billion euros released flows to the company heirs Stefan Quandt and Susanne Klatten.

The sales figures for corona pandemic would currently not be reached in the EU. “As a result, works are not busy, and we conduct hard clashes that employees do not wear the loads unilaterally,” said Benner. There are also homemade problems for which management should take responsibility.
The companies would now have to prove staying power and continue to invest in future products. “This will pay off, but the dry spell for one or the other will just be a bit long,” emphasized Benner. Innovations, but also industrial policy support from Berlin and Brussels. Suppliers need support for financing in the renovation and Europe their own battery industry.
In addition, the framework conditions for electrified car traffic are not yet sufficient. “Purchase incentives, charging infrastructure, raw material supply, recycling: These are the topics for a European automotive industrial policy,” says Benner./rwi/dp/zb/stk
