IG Metall Union Warns of Strikes at Volkswagen Over Wage Dispute

The IG Metall union has demanded that Volkswagen reverse the termination of collective bargaining agreements affecting around 130,000 employees in Germany by the end of October, or face potential strikes. The union is advocating for a five percent wage increase and enhanced job security protections amid the company's cost-cutting measures. Negotiations are anticipated to start in early December at the affected production sites.
