VW verkündet Einigung: Keine weitere Sitzung des Aufsichtsrats bei VW am Freitag
Während ein Showdown bei Volkswagen am Freitag erwartet wurde, verkündet der Autobauer schon am Vorabend eine Einigung. Ein weiteres Treffen des Kontrollgremiums braucht es nicht mehr.
Wolfsburg - Following an unexpected agreement at the Volkswagen supervisory board meeting regarding the cost-cutting plan, there will be no further session on Friday. The supervisory board had convened earlier on Thursday, sources from the group revealed. The automaker announced earlier in the evening that it would be laying off an additional 50,000 positions over the next few years.
This adjustment in global workforce capacity is necessary to achieve the goals of the transformation program, the company stated in Wolfsburg. Four plants continue to be in turmoil. For the sites in Emden, Zwickau, Hannover, and Neckarsulm, no competitive reassignment can be guaranteed from 2031 to 2034, VW explained. Alternative uses for these plants would be "examined in parallel and complementary."
Two months ago, the supervisory board was first presented with the cost-cutting and future plans of the management, but faced resistance from workers and the state.
