VW in the salary fall: 18% less for employees despite the million-in-board millions!

VW in the salary fall: 18% less for employees despite the million-in-board millions!

A storm of outrage is brewed at Volkswagen! The focus is on the salaries of employees after CEO Oliver Blume raised the explosive question: What do the workers really earn? The answer is shocking! Over 120,000 employees are affected by a house tariff that defines wages. A assembly line worker earns an average of 54,000 euros a year, plus a tariff bonus of 4,735 euros. But that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Around 20,000 employees in higher tariff levels collect at least 7,000 euros per month-that's a whopping 84,000 euros a year! And that's not all: 10,000 employees in the plus tariff can even earn up to 150,000 euros! In June 2023 there was a wage increase of 5.2 percent, and in May 2024 a further 3.3 percent more is in prospect. But the joy could be over soon!

Board deserves millions!

While the employees worry about their salaries, the board collects the fat millions! Oliver Blume himself earned an incredible 9.7 million euros last year! Together, the ten board members earn over 40 million euros! And that's not all - lavish special payments for employees abroad provide additional anger. In Beijing, a luxurious apartment is paid for 20,000 euros rent per month!

But now the big edition is over! The profit broke down by 64 percent, and the board plans drastic measures: three works are to be closed, which could cost tens of thousands of jobs! Salary cuts of up to 18 percent are imminent, and the IG Metall union urgently demands more wages. From December 1st, strikes will face! The situation is tense and the future of the VW employees is on the brink!
