Union leaders were threatening more strikes if VW did not move closer to their position
Volkswagen workers ramped up pressure on its management with further strikes at the carmaker’s German sites on Monday, as a fourth round of talks was set to begin in an increasingly bitter standoff over wage cuts and plant closures.
Negotiations will start at around 12:30 p.m. while workers will stage 4-hour strikes across nine of VW’s German sites, the second walkouts in a week and twice as long as the 2-hour-long strikes that took place the first time. “Our expectation for today is that the company stops insisting on its maximum positions and moves towards us. Trust has been destroyed… workers are very angry. The brand VW is under threat of becoming damaged by the behaviour of the board and the share price has been thrown to the bottom of the basement. That is the board’s responsibility.”
