“The Economic Conditions Are Becreasingly Tough, Competitative Pressure and Political UncertaTies are presenting the Company with Immense Challenges,” Audi, A Subsidiary of Volkswagen, Said.
What are the information of the cuts?
Management Board Chairman Gernot Döllner Said that “There will be no compulsory redundancies up to the end of 2033. In Difficult Economic Times, that is good news for all employees.”
The Current Job Security Program, which Prevents Compulsory Redundancies, Will Therefore Be Extended Until the End of 2033. It Previously Applied Until the End of 2029.
Job cuts prior to 2029 Are Instead Expected to Come Through Voluntary Redundancies and End of Contracts.
What is failing with Germany’s Automobile Sector?
For Decades, The Automobile Industry Has Been the Jewel in Germany’s Industrial Crown, But a Faltering Economy Has Seen the Country’s Production Dwindle.
Audi’s task cuts are the Latest Blow for the Ailing Sector in Europe’s Largest Economy, which has actually been struck HART by a Stuttering Shift to Electric Cars, Fierce Competition From China, Weak Demand and the Threat of Us Tariffs.
