VW before historical test: renovation and employee integration required
A dramatic shadow is above the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg! The giants of the car house also feel the shock waves of the crisis. The pressure on the VW board members increases immeasurably! Your mission? To get the battered brand back on track. But: how much pain will the employees have to endure in this emergency?
The core brand of VW, stamped as a problem child for a long time, has massive problems. The once lavish income from China has shrunk, and hopes for profits from the electric car business are gone. A clear order of action is in the room: renovation, cost what it wants! But the big questions are: Where is the communication between the board and the workforce? And how is an impending conflict prevented?
Board of Directors vs. works council: Who speaks to the employees?
at a time when clear announcements are required by the corporate management, it seems as if the board is overwhelmed. While the workforce is unsettled, the works council steps in to inform the employees about the dark situation. Yes, you speak of plant closures and layoffs! A task that the board should have taken over precisely and openly. Instead, a terrifying scenario was drawn from a demanding volume!
Now opposing forces are available: on the one hand a board of directors who are determined and on the other hand the powerful representations of IG Metall and works council who are willing to mobilize their tens of thousands of members. A historical conflict threatens - and VW does not want that! A paralyzing "position war" cannot afford VW when it comes to the future of the company.
The only solution: constructive negotiations!
In order to emerge from this crisis, both sides urgently need to sit down! Clarity and cooperation are now the be -all and end -all. Only if a clear course is found can VW set the course for a shining future. Otherwise the car brand that Germany has made is on the abyss! Will the negotiations be fruitful or end in a disaster? The time ticks!
