Negotiations between Volkswagen and the labor union are currently stalled without any breakthrough, leaving around 120,000 employees anxious about their job security before Christmas. After over 30 hours of talks, the atmosphere remains tense as discussions reveal significant hurdles. The conflict stems from a sales crisis at Volkswagen, which is considering workforce reductions and potential plant closures. The union is willing to negotiate, but escalation is possible if no agreement is reached soon.
