Volkswagen's Jobs Crisis Comes to a Head: 1,40,000 Roles at Risk as Workers Demand Answers

Volkswagen's works council will hold staff assemblies in August where workers will directly question CEO Oliver Blume about plans that put up to 1,40,000 jobs at risk. Meetings are scheduled at VW's headquarters in Wolfsburg and at the Emden and Zwickau plants, both of which face potential closure. The German automaker is under severe pressure from weak EV demand and rising costs.
