According to IG Metall, the management of Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH has also terminated the job security agreement for the three sites in Zwickau, Chemnitz and Dresden. "The joint collective agreement and the social partnership are being trampled underfoot here," said District Manager Dirk Schulze, condemning the move. The move also calls into question the hiring of trainees. He announced resistance "against this attack on our jobs" ahead of the first wage negotiations at Volkswagen in Hanover on Wednesday.
"All locations must remain - in Saxony just as in the other regions," demanded Schulze. The employees from all VW plants are standing together and demanding a viable concept for the future instead of cutbacks and redundancies. "The management must take responsibility for the mistakes and failures of its own making instead of making the employees pay for them," he said. "Hands off our jobs! All VW plants must remain."
