Thyssenkrupp metallurgists have demanded major investments and criticized management for delaying the presentation of their plans for the metallurgical business. Mr Detlef Wetzel, deputy chairman of Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe's supervisory board, told: “We demand a clear commitment from Thyssenkrupp on steel. We demand confidence in our employees. It's long overdue. "
Thyssenkrupp steel workers will demonstrate on December 3, but no details have been released.
Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe employs about 27,000 people and its employees are worried about the future of the unit after a deal to merge it with a European unit of Indian company Tata Steel failed earlier this year.
