Ondertussen waarschuwen deze belangrijke Duitse fabrikanten voor fabriekssluitingen of verdere bezuinigingen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNet als hier bij Volkswagen komen werknemers in de auto-industrie en de toeleveringssector vandaag in het hele land bijeen om werkgevers en politici te laten zien dat ze er genoeg van hebben\u201d, zei Christiane Benner, voorzitter van de machtige vakbond IG Metall, tijdens een bijeenkomst bij het hoofdkantoor van Volkswagen in Wolfsburg. \u201cHet staat momenteel overal in brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Volgens de ondernemingsraad van Volkswagen en IG Metall werd vertegenwoordigers van de media tijdens het protest de toegang tot het terrein ontzegd, zoals het management vorige week had bevolen. De vakbond, die een groot deel van de werknemers in de Duitse auto-industrie vertegenwoordigt, heeft voor maandag opgeroepen tot protesten op meer dan 200 locaties, waarbij naar verwachting meer dan 100.000 mensen zullen deelnemen.<\/p>\n<h4>Onder druk<\/h4>\n<p>De Duitse autofabrikanten staan al geruime tijd onder druk door de toenemende Chinese concurrentie, terwijl ze tegelijkertijd te kampen hebben met hoge energieprijzen, Amerikaanse invoerheffingen en een afnemende vraag op de binnenlandse markt. Naast Volkswagen zijn ook merken als Mercedes en BMW, evenals belangrijke toeleveranciers, waaronder Bosch, van plan tienduizenden banen te schrappen.<\/p>\n<p>Volkswagen <a href=\"https:\/\/newmobility.news\/nl\/2026\/09\/04\/vw-plans-another-50000-job-cuts-four-german-plants-at-risk\/\">is van plan 100.000 banen te schrappen<\/a> de komende jaren, terwijl <a href=\"https:\/\/newmobility.news\/nl\/2026\/07\/10\/is-volkswagen-considering-closing-4-plants-in-germany\/\">de toekomst van vier Duitse fabrieken<\/a> staat volledig op het spel. Andere merken, zoals Mercedes en BMW, zijn ook van plan om ingrijpende bezuinigingen door te voeren.<\/p>\n<p>De vakbondsleider zei dat werknemers van leidinggevenden verwachten dat zij hun verantwoordelijkheid nemen voor Duitsland als autoland, voor de werknemers en voor de werkgelegenheid. Benner riep politici op om betrouwbare investeringsvoorwaarden, betaalbare energie en steun te bieden om de productie in de EU te stimuleren.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens de vakbond IG Metall hebben ongeveer 175.000 werknemers deelgenomen aan demonstraties op 280 locaties, waaronder belangrijke automobielcentra zoals Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Ingolstadt en M\u00fcnchen.<\/p>\n<h4>Opmerkingen van Mercedes\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>Mercedes-Benz heeft zijn bezuinigingsmaatregelen aangescherpt en een \u201cproductiviteitscampagne voor Duitsland\u201d aangekondigd.<br \/>\nHiermee heeft de in Stuttgart gevestigde autofabrikant ook een maatschappelijk debat over de loonkosten aangewakkerd. In een brief aan de medewerkers in Duitsland stelde de raad van bestuur voor dat het personeel meer zou werken voor hetzelfde loon.<\/p>\n<p>De productiedirecteur, Michael Schiebe, waarschuwde maandag dat twee fabrieken van het bedrijf in Duitsland zullen moeten worden gesloten als de kosten niet worden teruggedrongen. Hij deed deze uitspraken tijdens een personeelsbijeenkomst in Sindelfingen, nabij Stuttgart, zo bevestigde een woordvoerder van het bedrijf.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHet is ons duidelijke doel om al onze Duitse vestigingen te behouden,\u201d zei Schiebe volgens de woordvoerder. \u201cOm dit te bereiken, moeten we het eens worden over maatregelen die voor iedereen aanvaardbaar zijn om de kosten in Duitsland te verlagen. Als ons dat niet lukt, zullen we \u00e9\u00e9n Duitse carrosserieafdeling en \u00e9\u00e9n Duitse aandrijflijnfabriek moeten sluiten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Autofabrieken zijn fabrieken waar auto\u2019s worden geassembleerd. In Duitsland heeft Mercedes-Benz dergelijke fabrieken in Sindelfingen, Rastatt en Bremen. In aandrijflijnafdelingen worden de aandrijfcomponenten voor de auto\u2019s vervaardigd. Deze zijn gevestigd in Untert\u00fcrkheim, Affalterbach, Berlijn, Hamburg, Kamenz, K\u00f6lleda en Arnstadt.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2026en Volkswagen<\/h4>\n<p>De Duitse autofabrikant Volkswagen is van plan het tempo van het lopende bezuinigingsprogramma van zijn kernmerk op te voeren, zo verklaarde merkdirecteur Thomas Sch\u00e4fer maandag tijdens een personeelsbijeenkomst in Wolfsburg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hebben absoluut geen tijd te verliezen en zullen ons prestatieprogramma daarom opnieuw aanzienlijk opvoeren\u201d, zei Sch\u00e4fer, terwijl werknemers in de Duitse auto-industrie in het hele land protesteerden om het management op te roepen de banen veilig te stellen.<\/p>\n<p>Binnen het kernmerk VW werd eind 2024 een akkoord bereikt om de overcapaciteit op de Duitse vestigingen terug te dringen, de arbeidskosten te verlagen en de ontwikkelingskosten tot een concurrerend niveau terug te brengen.<\/p>\n<p>Sch\u00e4fer zei dat er in Duitsland ongeveer 16.300 ontslagen definitief zijn doorgevoerd, terwijl er tot 2030 in totaal iets minder dan 28.800 zijn overeengekomen, wat dicht bij de doelstelling van 35.000 ligt. Hij noemde de ontwikkelingen \u201cgoede vooruitgang\u201d, maar waarschuwde dat de maatregelen ontoereikend zijn.<\/p>\n<h4>Geen onbeduidende storm<\/h4>\n<p>Daniela Cavallo, de voorzitter van de ondernemingsraad van Volkswagen, verwacht ook dat de bezuinigingsmaatregelen nog ingrijpender zullen worden. \u201cOp werkplekniveau zal de bezuinigingsrazernij van het bedrijf ons de komende weken van alle kanten treffen. Nog meer dan nu al het geval is, vrees ik\u201d, aldus Cavallo, volgens verslagen van deelnemers aan de ondernemingsraadvergadering.<\/p>\n<p>Er broeit een storm, zei ze. \u201cEn het zal geen onbeduidende storm zijn.\u201d Ze vroeg zich af of de geplande grootschalige banenverliezen van de groep op een maatschappelijk verantwoorde manier kunnen worden doorgevoerd. Ze zei dat dit niet alleen via deeltijdpensioenregelingen en vrijwillige ontslagregelingen zou kunnen worden bereikt, en waarschuwde voor gedwongen ontslagen.<\/p>\n<p>Een regeling ter bescherming van de werkgelegenheid bij VW zou naar verluidt geldig zijn tot eind 2030. Deze regeling zou niet kunnen worden be\u00ebindigd. Cavallo gaf toe dat de zaken niet zo konden blijven gaan als nu, en erkende dat het grootste deel van de winstgevendheid van het bedrijf verdwenen is nu de Europese auto-industrie een ingrijpende herstructurering ondergaat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFabrikanten met een lange geschiedenis zullen het niet redden. Anderen zullen moeten fuseren. En weer anderen zullen allianties moeten aangaan die ze in het verleden nooit zouden hebben overwogen\u201d, zei ze. De vraag is niet of er nieuwe lasten op de schouders van de werknemers zullen komen te liggen, maar simpelweg hoe deze eerlijk kunnen worden verdeeld en hoe kan worden voorkomen dat de situatie oneerlijk nadelig wordt voor het personeel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Car industry workers protested across Germany on Monday, calling on management at major brands including Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz to secure jobs and provide a future outlook.
