To reach a compromise every opportunity in the labor market have been used. The package of agreements define the prospects for 2010. «The package of compromise agreements resulted from several rounds of talks, which are often were threatened with falling. Be that as it may in the end, both sides moved towards each other and realized all the responsibility in the face of complex and difficult economic situation », - said Werner Bischoff , the representative of the Executive Committee of IG BCE.
«We have proved that we are always ready to discuss reasonable solutions. The government of Lower Saxony has played an important role in putting forward an initiative for the talks and strongly contributing to its success. During the decision-making, we take into account the continuing recession in the market, because of which it has become necessary to control the volume of production in Europe. The package of agreements gives us enough freedom to optimize the list of products already in 2010. At the same time, we began a process of negotiations intended to lead to a common denominator demands of different parties and to establish a schedule of resignations and stop wasting time on the establishment of clarity regarding the future for 780 workers », - said Dr. Hans-Joachim Nikolin, a member of the executive board of Continental Commercial tires.
Compromise package includes the following main points:

Automatic production module capable of producing 500,000 will be operating until the end of 2010. For its work 300 men are required.
At the end of June 2010 it will be decided on the basis of forecasts on the market, whether the module will continue to work in 2011.
It takes 50 people to carry out the production concept.
Leadership Council of the plant and workers will come to an agreement on the socially acceptable schedule of layoffs, according to which in 2009 the staff will be reduced by 200 workers.
Another 255 workers will be reduced during the first 3 quarters of 2010 after the settlement of differences.
