Bayer Schering merger - Merry Christmas you're fired!


Bayer Schering Pharma's head of the works' council said the future shape of the merged company should be clearer at the end of the year giving a better idea of the final number of positions.


Bayer CEO Werner Wenning (Halloween pic) had earlier said that 6,000 positions could be terminated through the integration of Bayer and Schering.


Wenning said the cuts will be handled in a 'socially responsible manner.'

The works council has demanded however that the cuts be lessened. 'We will fight for every last position,' their leader has said.
