Volkswagen: VW und IG Metall vereinbaren Tarifstart – und streiten an anderer Stelle gleich weiter

Düsseldorf - Volkswagen and the IG Metall union have agreed to commence tariff negotiations with Germany's largest automaker. However, a central proposal from management has sparked further discord: the company intends to remove employees via publicly funded transfer companies from the group. The union vehemently opposes this move, asserting it aims to undermine job security by 2030 and shift the costs of workforce reduction onto the public.

On Friday, VW management and IG Metall met in Hannover for a second so-called review discussion. Initially, the aim was to determine to what extent the company remains bound by its 2024 promises. At the meeting in Hannover, an agreement was reached on a date for the first VW tariff round. Thus, VW has agreed to the union's proposal to hold discussions at the at-risk locations.
