Thousands of Volkswagen employees are expected to gather in Wolfsburg for a protest organized by IG Metall as the third round of wage negotiations takes place. Discussions include significant demands from VW for a ten percent wage cut and reduced bonuses, while IG Metall initially called for a seven percent wage increase. The union and works council have proposed a plan to delay wage increases, potentially saving VW 1.5 billion euros. This protest aims to mobilize the workforce against VW’s austerity measures.
