Minister demand protection of jobs: Volkswagen under pressure!

In the middle of growing uncertainties at Volkswagen, the ministries of four federal states have spoken and demand that the car manufacturer keep its locations in Germany. Lower Saxony's Minister Olaf Lies, Saxon Minister Martin Dulig, Hesse's Minister Kaweh Mansori and Berlin Minister Franziska Giffey, all members of the SPD, reject radical measures that could harm the employees.

The situation is tense and the ministers make it clear that they decide to reject “hard cuts” at the workforce. In order to secure the jobs and preserving the existing know-how, a long-term contract for employment securing is necessary. "Once lost expertise is usually lost or can only be restored with great effort," they warn.

concern for job security

The pressure on Volkswagen has increased since the company has terminated the agencies to secure employment with the unions for decades. This opens the door for possible factory closures and operational layoffs, which is due to the employee representatives. The works council and IG Metall have raised their voice and make it clear that they will fight against these developments.

The federal states agree: the future of jobs at Volkswagen urgently needs to be secured. Different factors, including economic uncertainties and strategic changes within the company, press the workforce and its representatives. In a joint appeal, the Minister demands responsibility from Volkswagen to ensure the stability and trust of the employees.

The decision of VW to terminate employment has already triggered concern and could result in far -reaching consequences if further cuts should follow. The state minister emphasize that the existing structures and the knowledge of the employees are of crucial importance for the competitiveness of the company.

The ministries demand that Volkswagen sit at a table with the unions and the employee representatives to find solutions that take into account both the maintenance of the jobs and the economic stability of the company. This dialogue is crucial to reach an agreement that preserves all interests involved.

The situation remains tense and it remains to be seen how Volkswagen will react to the demands of the federal states. The pressure on the company is enormous and the coming weeks could be decisive for the future of many jobs at Volkswagen. The affected countries make it clear that they have an eye on not only the interests of employees, but also the economic perspectives of their regions.
