A total of 27,700 Volkswagen workers may be affected by employment measures such as reduced working hours flexibility, because of the dispute that the carmaker has with two of its suppliers of parts and that has forced him to stop production, the company said.
As reported by Volkswagen until the end of August, you may not meet these employees work shifts that were initially planned. Specifically, labor adjustments will affect employees in six plants the company has in Germany. Is centers Emden, Zwickau, Kassel, Salzgitter, Braunschweig and Wolfsburg, where the company headquarters is located.
On Saturday (20/08/2016), the automaker announced the suspension of Golf model production at its main plant due to lack of components for vehicle engines and components necessary for seat. At that time, the company had already advanced that from today (08/22/2016) shifts would be abolished and production rate would slow.
From the works council of Volkswagen blame suppliers of the current situation. “In our view, the responsibility is clearly suppliers. Or do you think we as a committee of business, do not ask who is to blame for our colleagues to stay home? Think, “said Chairman of the Works Council of the company, Bernd Osterloch, told the daily Bild.
Meanwhile, since the distribution companies state that has been the consortium who has led the break to cancel “without notice and without reason” orders and refusing to pay the corresponding financial compensation. “The break of the supplies is in self-defense, we do it to defend the future of our own workers”, they argued from the utility company.
