To the Management
Our reference: Personnel Department Tsch/Bu.
Subject: Allocation. of Labor
We have just determined on the
basis of a telephone conversation with Herrn Kauffmann that the prospects for
the allocation of more workers look very bad. As a result of the July drive, it
will probably not be possible to allocate more than 100 men to the dyestuffs
factory and the Bitterfeld plants via the "red slip method." Of these,
approximately 2/3 would go to Bitterfeld. It is said that for July, the
Gebechem [Plenipotentiary General for Special Questions of Chemical Production]
received only a total allocation to the extent of the requirements of the
dyestuff's factory and the Bitterfeld plants. Therefore it will not be possible
to get more than mentioned above out of the July drive.
Regarding the
August drive, nothing is known yet at present. If, however, in view of high
priority manufactures, such as tanks, and for the Navy and Air Force, the
Gebechem is to get as little in August as in July, then we can only count on a
quota which bears relation to our urgent requirements.
Negotiations
about covering the requirements of the N-plant have been carried on in the Air
Ministry by Dr. Perschmann. Herr Kauffmann is unable to say whether this has
also been done in respect to the requirements for our E-metal department.
We suggest that the department heads determine what amounts we will not
be able to produce if we get no, or only quite insufficient, allocations of
labor, in order to be able to give the Gebechem reasons for the urgency of the
allocations. |
