Warning strikes at Volkswagen: IG Metall announces dramatic actions!

Wolfsburg, Deutschland - The situation at Volkswagen is heading! After the peace is required at night to Sunday, IG Metall has announced a comprehensive warning strike campaign for Monday in all works by the largest European car maker. The IG Metall negotiator Thorsten Gröger announced that production was temporarily stopped. "In all works, production will be temporarily on ice in the near future," said Gröger at the weekend in Wolfsburg. This measure follows the numerous demands for a reasonable remuneration for the approximately 120,000 employees, while Volkswagen also demands wages of ten percent, which led to a deep conflict, as The time reports .

Volkswagen has already emphasized to respect the right to strike of the employees and take measures in order to maintain emergency care. A company spokesman said that the effects of the warning strike on customers, partners and production facilities should be minimized. Despite the challenges, the company remains in dialogue with employees, hoping to find a common solution. The next collective bargaining round will take place on December 9th, but the fronts seem hardened: the works council speaks of possible work closings and tens of thousands of operating terminations, which endangers the jobs at VW. According to the union, the situation is tense and the group's savings plans are unacceptable, as Gröger clarified.
