The Uniper Works Council has publicly called on the federal government to facilitate a return to the stock exchange (a re-IPO) as the necessary means of privatization. Martin Geilhorn, the chair of the group’s Works Council, emphatically stated that they absolutely reject any option of an off-market sale. Geilhorn reiterated the council’s fierce support for the re-IPO, explaining that the continued independence of Uniper is essential for safeguarding the rights and interests of its employees. Despite the federal government having now issued statements regarding potential processes, the position of the Uniper co-determination body remains unchanged. Uniper currently employs 7,000 people, with approximately 2,950 of them based in Düsseldorf.
