I wont be shedding any tears for the poor old German tax payer!
They just want to rule us & the rest of Europe by the back door;
even got their own SS I see - just like in the old days, what the heck is next!

Quote:

"This unparalleled recession is hitting Deutsche Bahn hard," Mehdorn said. But "in contrast to other companies, we are not planning any business-related layoffs."

Really? So about a dozen drivers at Thornaby, plus more at other depots haven't really been show the door then?

Sorry to say but it is the stealth tactics they use to take over businesses, sell assets including local workers and bring in cheap labour. If work ever picks up then wages wont be anything like they were. So many people are affected when State backed organisations steam-roller their way around the place picking off what they want when they like. It is as inevitable as the next sunrise and no one is gonna stop that!
