Going to work on Monday morning – which is normal for millions of Austrians, it was not at all for the employees of KTM. Since mid -December, the standstill in motorcycle assembly in Mattighofen had convicted about 1,000 production staff for not doing anything. Now the explosion has started.
On foot from the parking garage of the employees along the Research and Development Center and then further to the building, in which visitors must register for access to the business area; Immediately for the KTM Academy via the access locks that are passed on before you arrive at your workplace on December 13, it was the way of KTM production employees who stood for daily life and regularity. From then on? Standstill, uncertainty, uncertainty.
Just over two weeks after the bankruptcy opening, the motorcycle manufacturer had sent production in the forced break to get the much too high shares under control. The standstill for the meeting was first planned for the first time by the end of February, eventually two weeks were hung on it.
Monday morning something like the return to normal – the production is now gradually being lifted again. An extremely important step for those affected by the forced break, which were for a week of 30 hours for a week of 30 hours for a week for a week.
Men in KTM swear while they walk with their children
“The day is a special day for us and especially for every employee of KTM,” Mayor Daniel Lang, who, together with the other city politicians, emphasized in recent months, as a result of the bankruptcy of the leading company, had to win various investment projects. A striking number of men in KTM sweaters had been seen in recent weeks while walking with their children.
That should now change again, because the focus is on work, even if the restart only takes place in one-shift processing. “You can feel a sigh of relief that the weather starts,” says Lang.
Investor decision is coming for a long time
The Mattighofen city council recently took a “now that we back in” mentality with KTM employees. “The regulated daily life went off for many. Some already fell at home, “says the 36-year-old, who admits that the production of production only extends the security to a limited extent:” There is a big question mark that buzzes about Mattighofen: who is an investor at KTM and remains production in Mattighofen or is it shifting to us. “
