Overview
- The executive board asked supervisory-board chair Werner Gatzer to revoke Dohm’s appointment should a consensual exit not be reached, according to reports based on the Süddeutsche Zeitung letter.
- The letter argues constructive cooperation is no longer possible and warns the company’s ability to act is impaired.
- It is signed by CEO Evelyn Palla along with Michael Peterson, Martin Seiler, Bernhard Osburg and Harmen van Zijderveld.
- Tensions escalated after Dohm signed a December shareholder instruction to split DB Services without consulting employee representatives, angering the works council.
- The personnel case is scheduled for the March 20 supervisory-board meeting as Deutsche Bahn seeks an amicable separation beforehand.
