Several thousand steelworkers demonstrated in front of the main Thyssenkrupp plant in the north of Duisburg. IG Metall brought them there from all Thyssenkrupp sites in North Rhine-Westphalia and from Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann in the south of Duisburg.
Confronted with the loss of thousands of jobs, 10,000 steel workers from Thyssenkrupp and HKM are holding a joint works meeting on April 30 in Duisburg.
