SCANDAL at Würth: Labor court rejects third attack on dismissal!
In an incredible turn of events, the German family business Würth has suffered a true disaster in the labor courts! Today, onJuly 17, 2025, the controversial patriarch Reinhold Würth suffered his third devastating defeat before the labor court in Heilbronn. SWR reports that the immediate dismissal of a logistics employee was declared unlawful!
The employee was not only one of the main actors in an internal signature campaign, but also a powerful symbol of the growing discontent in the company! Hundreds of signatures, total287, were handed over at a sensational works meeting to reveal the catastrophic appreciation by the company management. This shows: The employees have had enough!
The shock wave
Each of Würth's terminations without notice is now portrayed in a light that casts doubt on the integrity of the top executive. The labor judges saw no evidence to support the allegations that the employees had committed “deception” with their actions.Truly shocking!Instead, it is the employees who are in the right and the logistics employee must continue to be employed without restrictions.
But that's not all! The waves of unrest are rising because Würth is not only faced with the challenge of surviving the legal proceedings. How wir-hn.de reports, the company will close its factory in Schopfheim in the near future! The reason? A horrendous drop in sales of around200 million euros! This means the frightening prospect of a loss of about300 jobs! A catastrophe that is shaking the region!
The power struggle in the company
But what is really behind these disputes? The fallen works council member, who had worked for the Würth Group for 27 years, was dismissed without notice because he allegedly did not inform his colleagues correctly. He was no stranger to the company, but an IG Metall shop steward who fought for the rights of workers. This unfair dismissal is just another example of the brutal measures taken by managers to maintain control.
Würth has not only lost the support of his own employees, but public opinion is also against him! An incendiary letter from the company boss from 2022, in which he advised against electing certain works council candidates, as well as another call not to vote for the AfD, caused mixed reactions among employees. The questions that are now in the room: Will this political influence have long-term consequences for sales? These concerns are becoming loud and urgent!
A raging conflict
The disputes before the labor court in Germany are not new. As reported by Personaldienst Online, it often revolves around dismissals and discrimination that comes to the surface. In this case, however, the crisis takes on dramatic proportions: stability and fairness in working life are in jeopardy!
Würth finds itself in the middle of a shocking storm, whose winds consist of dissatisfied employees and failed court decisions. Nothing seems certain anymore! And the question arises: Can Würth rise from the rubble of these scandals, or will the company go down in history as the company that ignored the voices of its employees?
