Volkswagen Workers Launch Nationwide Warning Strikes

WOLFSBURG, GERMANY - DECEMBER 2: Striking Volkswagen workers gather outside the Volkswagen factory on December 2, 2024 in Wolfsburg, Germany. IG Metall, the labour union representing the workers, is seeking a 7% pay raise, while company management wants to push through a 10% pay cut and possibly close three of its ten German plants in an effort to restore profitability in the face of a sharp decline in global sales.
