More than 350 applicants in one week: With the offer of two ten-hour shifts with full pay, B&R seems to keep up with the times. Stefan Pierer is critical of the advance of the company in Eggelsberg, which specializes in automation technology.
Wanted: Employee for two ten-hour weekend shifts, limited to one year, with full pay. The Upper Austrian company B&R is offering this to get its factory in Eggelsberg up and running at otherwise non-production times, so that the overflowing order books can be processed. An offensive that – as reported – has the full impact.
In the first week there were already more than 350 applicants for the company, which specializes in automation technology in the industrial sector. Will such vacancies become fashionable to get workers into the empty labor market? That is what the “Krone” wanted to know from Stefan Pierer, the president of the Upper Austrian Association of Industrialists.
