VW, IG Metall to review job pact on Sept. 30, source says

Key Takeaways

• The discussion will focus on the 2024 collective bargaining agreement, which includes a job guarantee through 2030—an arrangement now under strain amid renewed cost-cutting pressures (igmetall.de).
• Employees and union leaders have mobilized—most recently on September 21—to resist plant closures and mass layoffs, demanding long-term investment and industrial security for VW’s German sites (mitte.igmetall.de).
• Earlier this year, plans by VW’s executive board for major site closures and sweeping job cuts—up to 100,000 jobs—sparked strong opposition from IG Metall and the works council, halting some proposals but leaving significant pressure on the negotiation process (reddit.com).
