Autoindustrie: VW-Aufsichtsratschef lädt Streitparteien zu Gesprächen – Arbeitnehmer prüfen Klage
Der Vorstand um VW-Chef Blume und das Land Niedersachsen haben sich bisher nicht geeinigt. Nun startet Hans Dieter Pötsch noch einen Versuch. Scheitert er, droht eine historische Eskalation.
Düsseldorf - Volkswagen finds itself facing a potential scandal, according to sources cited by the trade magazine Handelsblatt. The company's board is now resolved to enforce its controversial cost-cutting package, possibly through an extraordinary general meeting if necessary. Workers are preparing for a legal battle, should this step be taken, and they could go "all the way to the Federal Court of Justice and beyond to Europe," the Handelsblatt reported from within labor circles.
Talks aimed at reaching a compromise broke down during official meetings on Monday and Tuesday. Several individuals familiar with the proceedings confirmed this to the Handelsblatt. Just before the Supervisory Board meeting scheduled for Friday, the board chairman, Hans Dieter Pötsch, attempted to organize a final discussion. Initially, Pötsch planned to meet with the VW Group's other board members, followed by conversations with both the German state of Niedersachsen, which holds a 20% stake, and the workers.
