germany street by street. the most colorful. long list of. the most traditional find it all at any time. check in with a web special. take a tour of germany street by street on d w dot com. the all. of it. it's the end of an iraq a diamond up one of the top companies in germany longtime c o d to its actual step down in spring next year making room for the first known german in the car makers driving it's. also on the show textiles made in the e.u. but ave it's a cop

a plea for higher pay from eastern europe. welcome to a business starting with a major change to dima c.e.o. is leaving his post next year and will go along to head up the company's supervisory board his departure comes at a time of turmoil in the german car industry as it struggles to respond to the emissions scandal the prospect of diesel bans and the threat of tariffs from the united states has been at a dive now for four decades and he has been at the helm for the last twelve years he'll be replaced by wait for it this man coming up now there is on the right all of regionally from sweden he's been with dimed us since one thousand nine hundred ninety three. for more let's cross over now to christiane he's professor for strategic management of the warrick business school good to have you with us first of all why is such a quitting and why now. i think it's

a mark of the changes going on in the car industry has done a very good job you have to remember to ti came in at a time when the chrysler dealer was really showing to be a bad deal and he sorted at mess so i think he's not leaving because. the company says. performance but they notice new challenges with mobility it was a lecture vacation come up where maybe someone you knew is better placed to take on these challenges and is. better placed what do we know about him. i don't know him personally but i do think that his background qualifies him well he has been in r. and d. that space where diana has intensively trying to catch up he stands for an approach where he's moved towards mobility step by step approach so the end goal is for

ptolemy but the company's adding step by step technologies where you get more and more are not for or taught to me that's approach that seems to be working for time and so does this mean that he's going to turn dime into like into a leadership position when it comes to a top in the driving how will it impact the comic. that's anybody's guess i think and that also holds for the other car companies little bit less worried about the competition don't know in other words the other car companies what they're really worried about is who apple some of those companies that provide the software solutions the mapping services that power a lot of mobility and don't want to find themselves in a situation like computer manufacturers in one thousand nine hundred. microsoft was eating their lunch and they have done things you have example as

a partnership between b.m.w. audi and dimed where they acquired here and mapping service that seems to work quite well to get up to speed in the space and just briefly if you would. is diesel still going to be a topic for donna under the new leadership. well certain you know i think the politicians in germany are busy trying to find a solution in that space so it will keep him busy but is a short term game in a way i think the long term game is to use mobility solutions all right. professor for strategic management of the worry could business school in the united kingdom thank you so much for a time. thank you. attending to bulgaria now one of europe's major textile produces largely due to its the low cost structure the average wage for a textile worker is only about three hundred fifty euros now that's peanuts

especially when you consider that bulgaria is an e.u. member state and that is why many young bulgarians and leaving to find jobs in other parts of the e.u. go to dead chav in southern brogue area people in this region make their living mostly from agriculture and tourism but many bug ariens also work in the textile industry german entrepreneur bet tom goldman has been producing clothes here since one thousand nine hundred three when he founded the company pier in texas. they produce men's clothing as well as women's fashion for luxury brands mostly sold in german stores. two thousand employees work here the average net salary of three hundred fifty euros per month is higher than other factories around the e.u. country. because. we pay more than average because we expect more than average from our employees. flexibility like quality flexibility and adapting to new products and materials. it's two thirty

pm time for a shift change employees have worked hard for their above average salary a few years ago a strike shut down the production line one worker outside the factory though told us the salary still isn't enough to survive on. the mind of instead of adjusting our salaries upwards they keep going down. they have people who time our work then they don't work in the allotted time instead of motivating us and giving us incentives in the mylan what i meant the. workers' rights groups are calling for change. the main headquarters for the union representing clothing and textile workers is located in the capital sofia it represents five thousand employees. in the mall of the. members throughout the country

report that the standards of targets for sewing cannot be met in one day. they often have to work overtime on the right move. in texas bosses currently struggling with completely different problems many young people have left the country and the training center is almost deserted only seven apprentices work the machines become pany actually has room for three times as many but the new generation is fleeing to germany or england where they hope to find their fortune or at least better working conditions. of a more on this story i'm joined by that was your leg from the clean clothes compay global alliance dedicated to improving working conditions and empowering workers in the global garment and sports industry is good to have you with us and i know that your speciality is especially east and europe so wage dumping we heard in this report is one big problem in bulgaria what else. yeah that is the thing that most

workers complain about and additionally one other very normal sort to say problem is that workers are intimidated they are yelled at they are abused they are . insulted and that is something in my view with that is treating them like slaves by management and by supervisors and what are the the two most dramatic issues i would say why is that possible specially in countries like goog area. yeah that is a long story i mean i think the most important reason is that the european union the american chambers of commerce and the governments in these countries have been very busy in creating an extremely improbable employer for a friendly environment invest us particularly foreign investors can do what they want they get subsidies they get nice conditions but the governments are not busy

and creating good conditions for workers so it's about roping in investment you are also investigated the suppliers for the big big fashion brand h. and m. what were your findings there. we have been investigating in cambodia in in turkey and and by the area and unfortunately we found really the worse conditions and by garia. in terms of wages the wages is less than ten percent of a living wage is. a wage that would cover a decent cost of life and and that really shocked also needed because i mean that was quite i mean in the comparison of these four countries you would expect you were you would have expected to expect something else. so the wages and drug area is really even in the regular working hours it's half of the minimum braised that means we are not talking about a fair living wage that him and him am is claiming we are talking about paying

below minimum wage and that means not obeying to the law not obeying to the law in terms of overtime the workers have to work seven days a week twelve hour was that is far beyond any legal limit and the e.u. has no sway there or the consumer perhaps just very briefly what would be your advice to consumers conscientious consumers who want to support fair production. i would say it is not the consumers are not to be blamed for that i mean the conditions the ones who have to be blamed for the conditions are in the first in the first place the brands themselves you know remember only one percent of what we pay in the shop for the clothing goes to the work at one percent and sometimes less and by gary i particularly less and and saw the brands are the ones

dictating the conditions through the prices they pay to the suppliers and these prizes cannot. ensure a decent life for the workers between governments you know your leg from the clean clothes campaign thank you so much for your time welcome thank you very much and we just have enough time to tell you this nike c.e.o. says an ad featuring football star and civil rights activist calling kaepernick as led to what it costs record in gage meant with the brand of the complain didn't prevent its share price from dropping after quarterly results showed slower than expected growth in china. well that's your business update here on t w thanks for keeping me company. of. the to. move. move
