VW subsidiary Autovision: Employees fear for their future

Von Kl Redaktion

The greatest automobile manufacturers of our time are constantly faced with challenges, and Volkswagen AG is no exception. On Monday, September 2, there was an alarming news about the economic situation of the company, which could have a profound effect on his subsidiary Autovision. The workforce in Wolfsburg and the surrounding area is insecure, because the signs indicate that their jobs are in direct danger.

The "Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung" reported on the dark forecast by the works council leader Jan Ulrich, who presented two drastic scenarios to the employees of Autovision during a meeting: either the complete handling of the company or continued operation with radical cuts in the workforce. Around 180 people are currently employed, whose professional future is now on the brink. It is particularly shocking because the workload is high and there is no lack of orders. The news came as a surprise and makes the employees extremely concerned.

fear for the existence

Many employees are not only affected individually, they also see their family members in great danger, which are also active in the company. The plans of VW and the current austerity measures come at a time when economic security and workplace stability have become a priority for many. The uncertainty leads to fears and a spreading unrest within the workforce, since nobody knows exactly how to proceed.

The city of Wolfsburg and Volkswagen AG as co -owner of the company sees the works council representation. In order to protect the employees, the works council urgently demands financial resources and a clear promise for the preservation of autovision. These political and economic measures are essential to secure the trust of the employees and prevent the company from bleeding out.

The effects of the austerity measures can already be felt clearly, because severance payments are made to the employees. The working time model could change significantly, and the representatives of the employees consider the severance payments currently offered as inadequate. They demand that this amount are raised and the factor for severance payments are made more fairly.

alternatives to termination

A central claim of the works council is the establishment of a transfer company that should exist at least one year. This means an alternative to the termination -related termination, in which employees concerned have the opportunity to continue their education and at the same time receive a so -called transfer short worker benefit. This could be a bridging of the stability for the employees while preparing for new professional challenges.

Another point on the agenda is the idea of ​​a relocated labor market: Autovision employees should prefer to flow into the selection process for internal job advertisements from Volkswagen and get a fair chance of employment. These measures would not only benefit the employees concerned, but also hold the expertise and experience in the company.

Overall, the situation remains tense and leads many to the question of how SichVW can continue to claim on the global stage while it is also fighting with internal challenges. The coming weeks will be decisive to control the company's course and take the concerns of its employees seriously.
