Union Vows Resistance as Volkswagen Weighs 50,000 Job Cuts
Volkswagen is set for a showdown with IG Metall as it weighs restructuring that could close factories and cut about 50,000 jobs. The union said it will resist any dismantling of employment protections ahead of Friday’s supervisory board meeting, where competing proposals may overhaul the group to address rising costs and weaker competitiveness versus Chinese rivals.
