Volkswagen faces potential strikes starting January 2027 if it does not reverse its decision to cancel wage agreements by the end of October. The company has terminated nearly all wage agreements in Germany as part of a restructuring plan that aims to cut 100,000 jobs and possibly close four factories. This decision is driven by increased competition from Chinese manufacturers and high costs associated with tariffs and electric vehicle investments. The IG Metall union has set a deadline for Volkswagen to retract its decision, warning of mobilization if it does not comply. The company argues that economic conditions necessitate these measures to maintain competitiveness.
