Volkswagen: SPD-Chefin Bas fordert Erhalt der vier bedrohten VW-Standorte – und kritisiert den Autobauer

Berlin - Germany's Employment Minister Bärbel Bas of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) has urged the automotive giant Volkswagen to preserve four workplaces at risk of closure, highlighting the company's duty to invest in future-oriented projects. During a review of the SPD's Bundestag faction in Berlin, Bas emphasized the significance of four plants specializing in electric mobility: Neckarsulm, Hannover, Emden, and Zwickau.

"These are state-of-the-art sites, and the workers are entitled to their preservation without layoffs due to business reasons," she stated. Bas acknowledged the understandable concerns of the employees: "Contracts were signed, and schedules were negotiated. The company failed to adhere to these commitments, leading to a lack of confidence in the current strategy."
