Internal correspondence reveals criticism of Schneider by DB Works Council leader
Deutsche Bahn, Germany's national railway company, is set to present its new strategy, despite facing criticism over the recent termination of CEO Richard Lutz's contract. The controversy surrounding Lutz's departure has been a point of contention in the criticism, with the works council directing their ire towards Federal Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder and the federal government.
Heike Moll, works council chairwoman of Deutsche Bahn, accused Schnieder of causing "additional unrest" within the company. In a message to employees, Moll expressed her disapproval of Schnieder's role in the termination of Lutz's contract.
According to reports in the Handelsblatt (Friday edition), Schnieder prematurely ended Lutz's contract due to his resignation initiated amid difficulties in managing various crises. Evelyn Palla, who will implement the new strategy, was appointed as his successor following a proposal by Schnieder and the decision of the supervisory board.
The new strategy of Deutsche Bahn has not been detailed in the reports, but it is expected to be presented soon. Despite the ongoing criticism, the presentation is expected to take place, signalling a new chapter for the company.
It is important to note that the criticism from the works council is not directed towards the new strategy itself, but towards Schnieder's actions and their perceived impact on the company.
As the situation unfolds, Deutsche Bahn and its stakeholders will be closely watching the presentation of the new strategy and the potential impact it may have on the company's future.
