The next round of collective bargaining talks at Volkswagen is scheduled for Thursday. The works council and IG Metall trade union announced that they will propose a salary cut, among other things, to reduce costs, prevent redundancies, and subsequent plant closures.
That must be the best framing ever. The union proposes a raise in wages, but in form of a work time fund, which then can be used to actually work less or be paid out at a later date. They then manage to spin it into a wage cut.
