Teamsters demonstrieren gegen BMW beim Bimmerfest an der Ostküste

ABERDEEN, Maryland, August 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- Langzeitmitarbeiter von BMW bitten das Unternehmen, nicht länger auf Amerikas Arbeitern herumzutrampeln

Teamsters-Mitglieder und -Anhänger demonstrierten beim Bimmerfest gegen die Pläne von BMW, fast 100 Arbeiter an seinem Auslieferungslager in Ontario, Kalifornien, zu entlassen. Das Bimmerfest fand am Samstag statt und ist ein jährliches Event für BMW-Fans.

Teamsters verteilten Tausende Broschüren, trugen T-Shirts und hielten Spruchbänder, auf denen zu lesen stand: "BMW: Die ultimative Misere." Ein Flugzeug flog mit folgendem Spruchband über die Veranstaltung: http://www.BMWUltimateMisery.com.

Das Bimmerfest ist eine Veranstaltung von und für BMW-Fans, wo Tausende stolzer Besitzer von Oldtimern und den neuesten BMW-Modellen ihre Autos zur Schau stellen. Viele von ihnen waren von der Entscheidung seitens BMW bestürzt. Sie waren über Verzögerungen besorgt, die eventuell darauf zurückzuführen sind, dass Zeitarbeiter zu Niedriglöhnen eingebracht werden, die die Arbeit von Langzeitmitarbeitern der BMW-Familie übernehmen.

"Es ist eine Schande, wie sie ihre Angestellten behandeln, viele von ihnen arbeiten in dem Werk seit 10, 20, 30 Jahren. BMW würde seine Arbeiter in Deutschland niemals so behandeln", äußerte sich Bob Lennox, Secretary-Treasurer von Teamsters Local 495 in Covina, Kalifornien.

Local 495 vertritt 68 Arbeiter von der Teile-Distributionsstätte in Ontario. Nach der Entlassung der Arbeiter will BMW das Werk sofort wieder eröffnen mit einer unerfahrenen, schlecht bezahlten Belegschaft im Management-, Verwaltungs- und Lagerbereich.

BMW stellte die gewerkschaftsfeindliche Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Jackson Lewis an, um das US-Arbeitsrecht in Bezug auf Betriebsschließungen auszuschöpfen und gute Arbeitsplätze, mit den Familien unterstützt werden, gegen Arbeitsplätze ohne Zukunft einzutauschen. Diese Langzeitmitarbeiter von BMW werden zu der bereits hohen Anzahl an Arbeitslosen hinzukommen ohne Anspruch auf Krankenversicherung für sie und ihre Familien.

Jedes Wochenende demonstrieren Teamsters-Mitglieder und deren Familien gegen die Gier von BMW vor BMW-Niederlassungen im gesamten Gebiet der USA. Die Demonstranten verteilen Broschüren, um BMW-Kunden darüber zu informieren, wie das Unternehmen seine amerikanischen Arbeiter und Gemeinschaften behandelt.

Photos von den Demonstrationen dieser Woche stehen hier zur Verfügung.

Der deutsche Automobilriese, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, ist Amerikas beliebtester Hersteller von Autos der Luxusklasse. Im letzten Quartal verzeichnete BMW einen Rekordgewinn in seiner 95-jährigen Unternehmensgeschichte. Das Unternehmen erzielte in 2010 einen weltweiten Umsatz von 81 Mrd. USD, bzw. 848.000 USD pro Mitarbeiter, und belegte damit den 82. Platz unter den Fortune Global 500-Unternehmen. Des Weiteren erhielt BMW über 3,6 Mrd. USD an geheimen Niedrigzinsdarlehen im Rahmen der mit US-Steuergeldern finanzierten Rettungsaktion in 2008/2009.

Die im Jahr 1903 gegründete Gewerkschaft Teamsters vertritt 1,4 Millionen hart arbeitende Männer und Frauen in den Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada und Puerto Rico.
