Summary
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe, Germany’s largest steelmaker, plans to cut 11,000 jobs, a third of its workforce, by 2030 due to increased competition from cheap imports, especially from Asia.
The restructuring includes 5,000 job cuts, 6,000 outsourced or eliminated positions, and reduced steel production capacity.
The company plans to spin off its steel division into an independent entity, a move opposed by labor leaders.
Cutting jobs and reduce steel capacity to fight against increased competition… Something doesn’t seems right 🤔

Bismark will be infuriated.
That’s a lot of fucking jobs. Great time of year for it too.
Didn’t I just real an article about how Germany had millions of unfilled jobs?
One industry can be hiring while another lays off.
