At the start of the fifth round of collective bargaining at Volkswagen, the company is also pushing for an end to the dispute. "We must not let any more time pass," said VW chief negotiator Arne Meiswinkel at the start of the talks in Hanover. "There is an acute need for action."
However, the positions are still far apart, Meiswinkel admitted. "The goal now is to find a solution together. That is our joint responsibility." This is the only way to secure the future of the company. "To do this, we need to find further financial potential that will lead to sustainable cost reductions."
