heise online - SAP founder thinks about leaving Walldorf: "Two days before SAP holds its employee meeting on Thursday with the aim of electing an employee council, the company's founder Dietmar Hopp has upped the ante: he feels that an employee council would be 'one foot in the door for IG Metall,' and he rejects the union's views on flexible working hours. 'If people have to ask the union whether they can call California at eleven o'clock at night, then happy days are over at SAP,' Hopp explained his concerns to the German economics paper Handelsblatt.com � 'in the worst case' Walldorf would be endangered as the home of the company's headquarters, he explained. For many years, Hopp was chairman of the supervisory board before he stepped down from the board completely almost a year ago. "
