Briefings

The Autoeuropa workers' commission warns that Volkswagen is considering a global salary freeze until 2030 to reduce costs, which could cause a 10% loss in real income. This follows a 2.5% salary increase agreed in October, with a 500 euro bonus and a 150% increase in the 2026-2027 objective bonus. The commission rejects the freeze as a justification for new sacrifices and threatens to use all available means to defend workers' rights and purchasing power.
