Crisis at Volkswagen: The IG Metall union calls for a strike at all locations. The actions begin in the morning in the east.
IG Metall has called for warning strikes in all Volkswagen plants from Monday. Depending on the shift, work will be interrupted for rallies or demonstrations, the union announced. The only exception is the plant in Osnabrück due to a different collective agreement.
The strike is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. in Zwickau, followed by Wolfsburg and other locations from 10 a.m., as the union announced. In addition to Zwickau and Wolfsburg, the factories affected are in Hanover, Emden, Kassel-Baunatal, Braunschweig, Salzgitter and Chemnitz as well as the “Gläserne Manufaktur” in Dresden.
In all affected factories, production will be “temporarily on hold,” announced Lower Saxony’s IG Metall district manager Thorsten Gröger. The strike is scheduled to begin at most locations at the same time as Wolfsburg at 10 a.m., Dresden and Kassel-Baunatal will follow at 12 p.m. and 12.30 p.m.
