Volkswagen Crisis: IG Metall and Works Council Unveil ‘Master Plan’ Ahead of Negotiations
In response to Volkswagen’s severe cost-cutting plans, IG Metall and the works council, led by Daniela Cavallo and Thorsten Gröger, are presenting a counterproposal aimed at restructuring the embattled corporation. They emphasize the need for a comprehensive future concept for all locations while rejecting wage cuts, plant closures, and layoffs. Their ‘Master Plan 2025 – 2030 – 2035’ focuses on enhancing product quality and technological leadership, asserting that the Volkswagen brand remains central to the company’s strategy.
