ABB employees are not game pieces

"In Ludvika, hope you get a committed owner,"

"Aftonbladet's leader board is the independent social democrat."

"yesterday morning came the press release that is most expected in the. ABB sells its division for power transmission - Power Grids - the japanese Hitachi. The price landed on $ 11 billion, approximately 100 billion. For this, the japanese company the world's leading manufacturer of networks for the transmission of power over long distances."

"Just the transmission of power is, in fact, one of the key factors if the world is to be reset to sustainability. And the knowledge exists in our country. It is a way to look at the Swedish industry."

"the Financier Christer Gardell as by the fund Cevian is a major shareholder in ABB stands for a different perspective. He has long pushed for dismembering the industrial companies with the simple aim to increase the value of the shares."

"Yesterday he got his own way in the ABB."

"Now change the owner."

"On the IF Metall's verkstadsklubb in Ludvika is cautiously positive. It is the city's mayor also. They hope that Hitachi will prove to be a owner who really cares about the business and are prepared to invest in the south of the Valleys."

"But precisely those who might be affected most, which is working for ABB or live in Ludvika, don't know, actually. Up until yesterday has all the information about the deal come through leaks to the press."

"The employees in the Swedish manufacturing industry is accustomed to global competition and foreign owners. They know that jobs in the long term can only be ensured if the production is innovative and effective. And they accept the conditions."

"They don't deserve to be treated as pawns in the riskkapitalisternas games."
