Volkswagen will terminate almost all collective agreements in Germany by December 31. The automaker announced this in Hanover, justifying it by saying that given the high costs, it needs to adjust the rules applicable to employees. Deutschlandfunk ↗
The measure concerns ten company agreements, including the significant framework collective agreement, which regulates, for example, working hours. According to available data, it will affect more than 100,000 employees. The first consequences are expected to be felt from 2027. Welt ↗
Volkswagen will also reconsider the future wage agreement with the IG Metall trade union. The group's management wants to gain greater room for introducing austerity measures and lowering the tariff level by terminating the agreements. The company claims that individual provisions need to be adapted to the current economic situation and cost pressure. hnonline.sk ↗

Union representatives speak of great disappointment and are preparing for negotiations that could be accompanied by strikes. These could begin from January 1 if the parties fail to agree on new conditions. ta3.com ↗
