  "account": "Volkswagen's supervisory board has recently gained attention, particularly after approving a massive restructuring package last week. However, key questions about the company's future remain unanswered, including the long-term fate of several locations and potential spin-offs of the Volkswagen brand. The board will continue to discuss billion-euro investments, job cuts, and the company's structure in upcoming meetings. The IG Metall union has now set the stage for the 2027 election of employee representatives to the supervisory board, with a list of candidates led by Daniela Cavallo, the head of the overall works council. The list includes several new faces who are familiar with key conflicts in the company's ongoing restructuring.",
  "summary": "Right in the middle of the biggest restructuring in the company's history, the employee side in the supervisory body is reorganizing itself. Two personnel stand out in particular.",
