100,000 Volkswagen Workers Strike in Germany
BERLIN (Reuters) -- Almost 100,000 workers joined walkouts at Volkswagen’s German plants on Monday in protest at management plans to cut wages and even close sites at Europe’s biggest carmaker, the IG Metall union said, threatening further industrial action.
With two-hour strikes by workers on morning shifts and early walkouts on evening shifts, a total of 98,650 employees at nine plants across Germany took part in the industrial action, said the union on Tuesday.
