V\u00f3\u00f3r de zomer, Oliver Blume, CEO van de VW-groep waarschuwde voor nog eens 50.000 ontslagen<\/a> wereldwijd, waarmee het totaal op 100.000 komt zodra de herstructurering van de groep is afgerond. De werknemersvertegenwoordigers vrezen dat er bovenop deze 100.000 nog eens 40.000 banen zullen verdwijnen, waardoor het totale aantal werknemers van de VW-groep wereldwijd zal dalen van 660.000 naar ongeveer 520.000.<\/p>\n

Oliver Blume is inmiddels begonnen aan een rondgang langs de Duitse fabrieken om uit te leggen waarom deze banenverliezen noodzakelijk zijn. Volgens geruchten zou de helft daarvan in Duitsland plaatsvinden. Blume\u2019s belangrijkste argument is dat de vaste kosten van de groep 30% hoger liggen dan die van veel concurrenten. Ook de overcapaciteit in de fabrieken vormt een groot probleem.<\/p>\n

Volgens Blume zou de helft van de banenverliezen plaatsvinden in het thuisland, Duitsland, wat de aanstaande protesten onder de werknemers natuurlijk niet heeft getemperd. De vakbonden hebben hun eigen berekeningen gemaakt en vrezen dat er nog eens 40.000 werknemers het concern zouden moeten verlaten, bovenop de 100.000 waar Blume het over heeft.<\/p>\n

Krachtig protest<\/h4>\n

Het is duidelijk dat de werknemersvertegenwoordigers niet blij zijn met deze ontwikkeling, en Daniela Cavallo, voorzitter van de ondernemingsraad, heeft verklaard dat het vertrouwen in het management en de CEO ernstig is geschaad. Desondanks blijven beide partijen openstaan voor onderhandelingen.<\/p>\n

Blume heeft bepaald dat de verschillende fabrieken een jaar de tijd hebben om met alternatieve oplossingen te komen. Blume streeft vooral naar vrijwillig vertrek en pensionering, maar zijn voorstellen stuiten op hevige kritiek. Christiane Benner van de invloedrijke vakbond IG Metall heeft de plannen van Blume om de kosten met 30% te verlagen en de winstmarges met maximaal 9% te verhogen, \u201cvolstrekt utopisch\u201d genoemd.<\/p>\n

Maandag verklaarde een vakbondsvertegenwoordiger dat de werknemers bereid zijn tot een langdurige strijd\/staking als Blume niet van gedachten verandert, ook al heeft de CEO beloofd dat ontslagen en fabriekssluitingen \u201cde duurste en allerlaatste optie\u201d zouden zijn om de problemen op te lossen.<\/p>\n

De werknemersvertegenwoordigers betreuren het dat er voor fabrieken als Emden, Zwickau, Hannover en Neckarsulm (Audi) nog geen vooruitzichten zijn voor de toekomst na 2030. \u2019We kunnen geen overeenstemming bereiken met een leidinggevende die zich niet echt uitspreekt tegenover zijn werknemers\u201c, klaagde Daniela Cavallo.<\/p>\n

Op zoek naar alternatieven<\/h4>\n

De werknemersvertegenwoordigers en de deelstaat Nedersaksen, die 20% van de stemmen in de raad van commissarissen van VW in handen heeft, denken na over alternatieve oplossingen. Olaf Lies, president van de deelstaat Nedersaksen, zei dat de omvang van de VW-groep niet het probleem is, maar dat er aanvullende activiteiten moeten worden gevonden om iedereen aan het werk te houden, bijvoorbeeld in de groeiende defensie-industrie.<\/p>\n

Lies betreurde het ook dat de CEO onvoldoende de nadruk legde op de positieve ontwikkelingen die zich nog steeds bij VW voordoen, zoals het groeiende succes van de elektrische auto\u2019s van het bedrijf in heel Europa.<\/p>\n

Het staat vast dat de strijd binnen de VW-groep nog maar net is begonnen. De onderhandelingen tussen het management en de werknemersvertegenwoordigers zullen ongetwijfeld lang duren en soms erg moeizaam verlopen. Gezien haar omvang en haar recente beleid is de VW-groep het beste voorbeeld van wat er de afgelopen jaren mis is gegaan in de Europese auto-industrie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
