Today: Blume verrät Details zum VW-Umbau | Diesel könnte teurer werden
Der VW-Chef kündigt vor der Belegschaft in Wolfsburg harte Einschnitte in Deutschland an. Und: Der Preis für Diesel steigt. Daran ist nicht nur der Iran-Krieg Schuld.
Volkswagen is undergoing a major restructuring, putting 10,000 jobs and four plants in Germany at risk. The employees' uncertainty is correspondingly high. On Tuesday, the first of nine extraordinary works council meetings was held in Wolfsburg, where the management was to speak about the cost-cutting plans. According to Handelsblatt reporter Lazar Backovic, who discussed what Blume had to say about the restructuring plans, how the workforce responded, and why this week could mark the opening of a power struggle on the supervisory board, in an interview on the podcast.
The focus is on the prices at the fuel pump. On Monday, a liter of gasoline cost an average of 2.22 euros, which is about 16 percent more than two months ago. Why diesel is so expensive and not likely to become cheaper anytime soon, explains Handelsblatt commodity expert Judith Henke.
