VW crisis: Savings plans threaten social security for employees!

The crisis at Volkswagen is becoming increasingly dramatic! What started as a harmless savings program is becoming a real stress test for the car giants employees. The works council and IG Metall raise the alarm and warn of the devastating consequences. Again and again the dark word "poison list", which describes the brutal incisions that endanger the once proud employee culture of VW. The "Wolfsburger Nachrichten" report on a worrying trend that questions the future of the workforce.

Drastic cuts at VW

Internal information shows that VW is planning drastic measures in its current inventory of tariff services. Self -proven social security systems such as the “Work2Work” project, which has been considered a showcase project for the reintegration of employees with health restrictions since 2001, are on the brink. "Our responsibility to keep these colleagues in all their professional life in value -adding activities," said the corporate philosophy, could soon be a thing of the past. The elimination of such programs would be a hard blow for the employees concerned.

In addition, the protection regulations for older employees also seem to be on the shooting list. There are currently regulations in the Wolfsburg VW stemwerk that enable older employees to switch from a three-shift to a two-shift operation without suffering salary. However, like many other social benefits, this regulation could be deleted soon. This also includes anniversary gratifications and allowances. The uncertainty hovers like a sword of Damocles over the workforce, while the "Wolfsburger Nachrichten" reveal more details about the planned cuts.
