Volkswagen accelerează programul de restructurare. Zeci de mii de angajați protestează în Germania

Volkswagen plans to accelerate its restructuring amid protests from thousands of workers in Germany demanding job security. CEO Thomas Schaefer announced the need for urgent measures following a profit warning that highlighted the decline in the German auto industry. The company aims to cut an additional 50,000 jobs as part of its restructuring efforts. Union leaders are calling for stronger protections against unfair competition from China and more effective EU policies. The German auto sector has already seen significant job losses, with around 100,000 positions cut since 2019. The industry faces challenges from rising competition and changing market conditions, particularly in China.
