VW currently navigating through unsafe waters.
The electromobility thing is still not going as planned. VW subsidiary Audi’s plant in Brussels is under threat – and the first half of the financial year was not as successful as expected. (we said). It is not surprising that the corporate side is not exactly looking forward to the upcoming negotiations with pleasure.
But in autumn the time has come. Then the union IG Metall and VW will sit down at the table again to negotiate a possible wage increase for workers. And the union – as usual – enters the negotiation round with clear demands.
This is what IG Metall wants to achieve:
- effective salary increase of 7 percent for 12 months
- disproportionate increase in training salary of 170 euros per year of training for 12 months
SUV for less than 300 euros improve!
An electric SUV with a wide roof, automatic climate control, smart parking assistance and a large 467-liter trunk for an unbeatable 289 euros per month: HERE we reveal where you can find the rental bargain🛒.
The employees at the Wolfsburg, Braunschweig, Emden, Hanover, Kassel and Salzgitter plants should benefit. In addition, the employees of the subsidiaries Financial Services, Real Estate and dx.one GmbH. However, the union is preparing for tough rounds of negotiations again. “We cannot rule out that Volkswagen will once again produce a list of poisons that it already has in its closet,” said IG Metall negotiator Thorsten Gröger in the past. Especially with the “performance program” and the current position of the organization.

VW CFO with warning
An internal interview available with the “Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung” shows that it will not be that easy to get more money. Brand CFO Patrik Andreas Mayer warned in the interview against excessive pay increases, it is said. “Structurally, personnel costs have increased significantly as a result of the latest wage increases at Volkswagen AG,” the “WAZ” said from the interview, and continues: “As a result, fixed costs, for example, have also increased in general. This is not a healthy development and we cannot allow this trend to continue.”
Will the latest warning affect the upcoming negotiation talks? That remains to be seen. Maybe in October.
