Volkswagen opened revision talks with IG Metall under a clause in its future collective agreement, citing a sharp industry downturn.
Management is pushing to accelerate cost cuts, execute the “Group Target Picture 2030” plan, and expand socially acceptable headcount reductions.
Several collective agreements were terminated effective Dec. 31, 2026, widening the scope for renegotiation; terms remain in force for now.
The future collective agreement’s employment safeguards were excluded from the terminations.
Next round of talks is scheduled for the second half of October.
