Unions might force Saab into bankruptcy

by TIMR on JUNE 26, 2011
This is the worst case scenario, now I’m hoping and counting on that we will not have to take it this far according to Håkan Skött, Head of the Union Metall in an interview with TT. The scenario could play it self out if Saab does not pay the salaries to its employees.

Friday it was reported that the Engineers and administrative employees who normally get their salaries on the 27th would not be payed either.

In sweden there is a governmental salary guarantee that is issued to employees of companies who ends up in trouble. For example when Saab entered reconstruction this method of keeping the employee salaries payed was used. For Saab to use it again, they might have to be forced into bankruptcy according to Håkan Skött.

Chaos in Saab's Board

Updated 18:36
Counsel Kristina Geer resigns from Saab Automobile's board. Now it is the unions who controls the company.

Left in the Saab Automobile's regular board since last Thursday, only Victor Muller, apart from two union representatives.

Kristina Geer resigned formally on June 23, according to Saab for her not to sit on two chairs.

- She is a corporate lawyer as well. It's two different functions, and she has thought long and has hereself wished to do so here. There is nothing more to it, said Eric Geers, Director of Communications at Saab Automobile, which also is married to Kristina Geer.

According to Saab's statutes, adopted in February last year, there may be a member of the board.

- We do not violate any laws. But this is not for a long term solution. It is obvious that the entire Board to be reviewed, says Eric Geers.

When a new Board could be presented, he can not say.

- One look at this and there are suggestions. But if it comes in the next few days, I can not comment on. There is a review and once it is finished, we go out with it, said Eric Geers.

Meanwhile, Dutchman Robert Schuijt, director of the Swedish Automobile (formerly Spyker), entered as an external signatory. If Schuijt also is to become a board member does not want Eric Geers comment.

- I can not express an opinion on everything that will happen and how the board looks forward in time. They're working on it.

According to the certificate of registration, the entity holding the AGM, the Board elected, by June.

But Kristina Geer's departure also means that Victor Muller since last Thursday, sitting alone on the board with two union representatives ordinary, Union Annette Hellgren and IF Metall Hakan Scotland. It also includes two trade union deputies.

Thus, the power over the company handed over to the unions.

Hakan Scotland would not comment on the cause of Kristina Geer's departure.

- I do not know. There she gets to answer himself, says Scotland.

But he confirms that IF Metall in conjunction with Union formally can control themselves over Saab Automobile.

- So it is. We have that opportunity. There is no difference between a union member and someone else. If it would be an issue for which we vote for or against and Victor are voting the other way is we who decide. So it is.

According to Scotland is the established fact, but not thought about exploiting the situation.

- It may be seen. It may well be so in other cases as well. It is not always that the non-union members agree. And then also as a union representative to go in and give a ruling on a board.

Maria Karlsson, Tuula, Associate Professor of Civil Law at the Gothenburg School of Economics, reacting strongly to information about Saab's Board of Directors.

- I do not understand how they can do so here. There is so much strange with Saab. In such a large company, it's very strange to have someone with so much responsibility. Why do they do it? Do they believe them to be relieved of personal responsibility?

Ik snap niet, dat als de Zweedse overheid zegt dat Saab zelf moet zorgen voor financiering ze vervolgens wel verbieden om met een specifieke financier in zee te gaan. Als men dan zograag afstand houd dan moeten ze zich ook niet bemoeien wie Saab financieert.

Victor Muller promises of money from China

Published 17:31
Updated 17:40
A new wave of crisis character washes over Saab Automobile in Trollhättan, in the form of notice of the dealer and a notice to the bailiff.
CEO Victor Muller responds by presenting even a Chinese agreement, but with vague outlines.

As early as the weekend came union warnings that it may be time to ask for Saab in bankruptcy, after two months of downtime and set the payment of wages.
This scenario was not possible to cancel on Monday, although the Dutchman Victor Muller countered with a new order for 582 trucks from China, which will provide 120 million this week.
Muller's statement gave a lift rate of 22 percent of shares in the holding company Swedish Automobile on the stock exchange in Amsterdam, a slight recovery after the collapse of more than 60 percent last week.
The new money does not cover Saab's long-term financing needs of about 700 million. But it should Mullen enough salary payments prior month and some vendor invoices.

Unknown car buyers
Who the Chinese Catcher in the Rye is this time is a mystery. The order follows a series of memoranda of understanding with the Chinese. Last out was the Chinese dealer Pang Da and automaker Youngman, who made up with Muller on funding and cooperation in exchange for the opposite high post in the firm.
Saab has called the staff to work on Tuesday to provide additional information about the situation.
- There is still a significant risk that this does not go into port, said Svenåke Berglie, president of the suppliers' trade association Automotive Suppliers.
He shares concerns with many others in the industry, including dealer Ana, who on Monday gave notice 75 of 200 employees with reference to the crisis of Saab.

Requirements to the Enforcement
At the same time left the component manufacturer, International Automotive Components (IAC) in a demand for payment from Saab at 44 million to the Enforcement of Uddevalla.
Lars Holmqvist, CEO of the European Association for subcontractors, CLEPA, fears that the IAC's requirements gives a domino effect and that bankruptcy is now the only natural way out.
- It's a disaster, I suppose you emptied it all out. Therefore, it is both inevitable and rude to staff and suppliers that do not require the company into bankruptcy.
Stefan Bratzel, professor and automotive analyst at the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne, Germany, believe that an insolvent Saab could be in the interest of potential buyers. This makes it much cheaper to take over Saab.
- It is easy to underestimate the Chinese. But they would have understood as much out of their investment as they can get.
The union of the Union representative Cecilia Fahlberg said after meeting with about 500 members that it is prepared to ask the Saab Automobile in bankruptcy unless the company pays the salaries of officials.
- From the time we submitted the members' payment requests, the company has seven days to respond. Will not pay then it may be that we are asking the company into bankruptcy.
Metal Workers' Union, which is inside the same process, are not as categorical.
- We take one step at a time. When the seven days have passed we will see how we will act. I do not do anything in advance, said Metall Chairman Hakan Schött.
Efforts to help the officials to run their wage claims against the Saab is the biggest issue that the Union pursued.
Last year, drove the Union in 30 million kronor for members who directed the payment claims against their employers.
- Here at Saab of the approximately 35 million to our members only for the June salary.
