Protest al muncitorilor din industria auto din Germania / ”Nu suntem de vină pentru eşecurile din ultimii ani” / Ies în stradă angajații de la Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW, Audi și Porsche
Tens of thousands of workers in Germany plan to protest, demanding job and factory protection after Volkswagen's profit warning highlights the decline in the auto industry. The IG Metall union is pressuring companies to safeguard jobs and reduce energy costs. Volkswagen has cut its profit margin forecast, citing market deterioration in China and restructuring costs. The German auto industry has laid off around 100,000 employees since 2019, with further cuts expected. The challenges stem from rising competition, particularly from Chinese manufacturers, and disruptions caused by the Ukraine conflict.
