Following the takeover of Uniper, a German energy group, labor representatives are requesting that the shareholder Fortum discloses its future plans for its two companies. Recently, the ratings agency S&P gave both firms a “BBB” rating- which means that the acquisition of Uniper could be negative for both groups. Workers are afraid that the merger will mean a downgrade, and negatively impact employees.
