The tension between Volkswagen and its largest union continues to escalate as the car manufacturer insists that cuts are necessary amid a deepening crisis. VW, one of the world’s largest car manufacturers and a major employer in Germany, is facing mounting pressure to cut costs in the wake of declining sales and increasing competition in the automotive industry.
The company recently announced plans to implement cost-saving measures, which could include layoffs and restructuring efforts. However, the largest union representing Volkswagen’s workers has made it clear that they will not back down without a fight. The union is demanding assurances that any cuts will not result in job losses and that workers’ rights and benefits will be protected.
The standoff between Volkswagen and its union underscores the challenges facing the automotive industry as it navigates a rapidly changing landscape. With advancements in technology and increased competition from new entrants in the market, traditional car manufacturers like VW are struggling to maintain their market share and profitability.
As Volkswagen grapples with these challenges, the company’s largest union is taking a stand to protect the rights and livelihoods of its members. The outcome of this dispute will have far-reaching implications for both Volkswagen and the broader automotive industry as a whole. Only time will tell how this conflict will ultimately be resolved and what the implications will be for Volkswagen and its employees.

Reason for this is that your cars have always been way too expensive. Always wanted one, but your fault. Greedy Corporations.

This union needs to call a strike
The management is responsible, cutting costs on C level management … The government has to provide lonas and tax insensitive
If the workers should lower their wages they should exchange it for a majority in the company stocks. Use this opportunity my German Comrades to make this company closer to being owned and operated by the workers who built it.
In the USA it's just common sense not buying $40,000 vehicles, most of us are broke

that's the results of de-risking from China
check the received bonuses over the years by management, director, c-level and exec. board(s) – if they received bonuses then salary raises are needed.
The employees have done so much for the company. They deserve something than lay-off while the managers have failed.
The sanctions are biting
I think this is the lessons other car manufacturers have to learn. When you want to make your product globally competative, the first thing to do is to get rid of the union, relocate your manufacturing to places where you have skilled but cost friendly labor forces. Keep in mind, you are competing globally where other rivals can use much cheaper and better controlled process to produce the cars you can not imagine. Sleep on yesterday's success will not work anymore…
Once upon a time Germany arrogantly said "I will sanctions China"
China "Let's build our Auto industries by ourselves"
And today… VW "We close factories, i think we going to bankrupt"
Nordstream 2 blew up German Industry 😮…
Why has all of these erupted all of a sudden, it's been going on for years. Well Volkswagen banked everything on EV sales in China and they not only haven't been selling there, but China is now wanting to import large numbers into Europe. Well done with your Carbon Neutral agenda EU.
thank to Germany leadership to become the second strongest sanction imposer on Russia. Thanks for being silent of the entire Germany country when the Nord Stream pipleline was brutally blown up. Thanks for not taking any diplomatic approach to attempt end the war and rebuild the energy supply chain with Russia. Ideolody and political narrative as well as the stupidity of blindly following US policy contribute where we see today…
