  • Volkswagen gives job guarantees

    Financial Times - 2010-02-16

    Volkswagen became the latest German carmaker to safeguard jobs at factories in its home market, agreeing a deal that will rule out job cuts until 2014 for 100,000 staff.The accord with the IG Metall trade union extends a job guarantee that was in place until the end of next year. It comes after Daimler struck a deal to guarantee jobs for 10 years at its biggest German factory, an agreement remarkable for its duration in the face of the acute slump in the car industry.Agreements that rule out compulsory redundancies are not uncommon in Germany and VW has a close relationship with IG Metall.VW's deal with IG Metall follows an agreement last year between company and union for an increase in salaries of more than 4 per cent, when the company also secured agreement to introduced a small element of performance-related pay.VW is also sticking to its target of trying to raise productivity by 10 per cent a year.
