IBM-Pensions

Please find enclosed a declaration, given by 150 representatives of the Annual Assembly of works councils at IBM Germany, ISG.

Our declaration may be helpful to you in your struggle to secure the rested rights concerning IBM Pension Plan.

As far as we know today, IBM Germany's management is also planning to change our IBM Pension Plan. Therefore we believe it would be helpful to act with joint efforts, and learn from each other.

We would appreciate if you could provide us with actual up-to-date informations concerning your future activities.


Die Gewerkschaften in der IBM Deutschland Informationssysteme GmbH übermitteln euch im Namen der ISG Betriebsräte-Versammlung ihre Solidarität in eurem Streit um die Sicherung eurer Pensionen.

Wir haben eure Anstrengungen zur Sicherung der IBM Pensionen sehr aufmerksam verfolgt und freuen uns, dass es gelungen ist, euch so erfolgreich zu organisieren, um eure Pensionen zu sichern.

Wir hoffen, dass mit der fortschreitenden Internationalisierung der IBM auch bessere Kontakte zwischen den nationalen Arbeitnehmer-Vertretungen erreicht werden.
