the for months lasting confrontation with the board of VW -Kernmarke is from the perspective of the employee representatives reached a new peak. As a “serious problem of trust” for the purposes, calls council boss Bernd Osterloh now talks about a “Pact for the Future” to the negotiating table. With this offensive the board is also overlooking the Diesel debacle a showdown in the house.
There are no longer any basis for the traditional forms of cooperation, it is said from the council. Discussions on a “Pact for the Future” were needed to stop the current speculation on the safety of jobs and plants in Germany. “In it we want to write solid product, piece count and investment commitments for the coming years,” wrote the works of the VW workforce. The learned the German Press Agency on Thursday steward of the IG Metall. The letter was among others via email on the way.
SURPRISING TALKS
The management board of Volkswagen core brand appeared ready quickly in conversations about more predictability and certainty for the future enter jobs. “The letter of the works we see as a very good basis for further work. We strongly welcome the offer of negotiations for a long-term future pact, “said VW personnel chief Karlheinz Blessing of the German Press Agency on request. “The security of the sites is in the interests of the Management Board. The talks we will lead swiftly and constructively. “
The supported writing in the workforce conflict marks a new quality. Osterloh and Volkswagen boss Herbert Diess fell since the outbreak of the diesel crisis several times to each other, it slammed violently. An open fracture failed to materialize. That’s different now
COMPLAINT WEIGH HEAVY
The charge of the works weighs heavily. He fears that the management in view of the exhaust affair exacerbated the return pressure and the situation exploited deliberately to specifically to set the ax at the locations. “So we have the impression that the diesel scandal from behind should be used to make personnel cuts, which until a few months, no subject was,” it says in the letter that the council chiefs from Emden, Hanover, Kassel, Salzgitter , Braunschweig and VW Sachsen signed up.
Make a pact for secure jobs there last ten years ago, when VW was the four-day week to rest and gained concessions with overtime without full wage compensation. “Even at that difficult time, we have succeeded through binding agreements to shape the future for companies and employees positively. This is today our range of the brand board of Volkswagen, “it says in the letter. “We want an end to speculation about the future of people and locations of Volkswagen!”
PARTICIPATION UNUSUAL STRONG
The participation in the VW group is unusually strong. Also due to historical roots of the council to the IG Metall and the minority shareholder Lower Saxony strong positions – the Nazis built the VW ordinary work with expropriated trade union assets. Compromising participation träfen the basic understanding of VW, the same in the employment and profitability objectives Ranges are.
“Neither the grown participation rights of people at Volkswagen nor the protective provisions of the VW law for locations and employment on the participation of Lower Saxony have initiated or contributes to diesel scandal “, says the letter.
oBVIOUSLY gREAT sUSPICION
Osterlohs team obviously cherishes great distrust. It speaks to the brand board the proverbial “handshake quality” from: “Constant changing targets, the lack of a reliable, long-term strategy for the Volkswagen brand, or flat, not thought through savings targets are just a few examples.” Is necessary, therefore, a ” clear change of direction “.
” the principle that economy and jobs are equal corporate goals must remain valid. “This is true” course “for the agency. Here VW had recently – after years of takeover practice – run well over a thousand contracts. The letter asks: “The aim must not be to log as many temporary workers as soon as possible.”
REQUIREMENT OF SOLID COMMITMENTS
Osterlohs people play with the “Pact for the Future” to attack. They demand with firm commitments for jobs, products and quantities also an overall strategic approach. “This is the case for our engine and transmission sites that will be affected by the withdrawal of electric mobility, for our vehicle manufacturing end mills and also for the indirect areas.”
With the latter are in the jobs sector away from production meant, so as in the administration. There VW management plans to cut more than 3,000 jobs, which the council a blind cost-cutting schemes by the “lawnmower method” looks. The current job security for the 120 000 people in the VW-house fare includes job cuts are not enough. This could be planned and less hiring or assigning new tasks.
