Volkswagen intends to keep salaries unchanged for a large portion of its worldwide workforce until 2030, potentially cutting earnings by around ten percent.
Internal documents show that Volkswagen is preparing a wage-freeze for many of its employees worldwide, extending to 2030. The move could reduce pay growth by roughly ten percent for those affected. A company spokesperson declined to comment on the speculation, saying upcoming negotiations will focus on internal agreements. The proposal marks a further escalation in the ongoing dispute between management and labour representatives.
