In another episode of the "death of Europe," a new report from Germany brings more troubling news for struggling automaker Volkswagen, suggesting to us that globalists in the bloc have squandered not just their inheritance but their economic future through a failing progressive experiment that has neutered Europe's industrial base.
German daily newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) reports that Volkswagen plans to freeze salaries through the end of the decade as it expands its cost-cutting push after lowering its outlook and doubling its job-reduction target.
"Internal documents reveal that hundreds of thousands of employees are to forgo pay raises. These latest plans represent a further escalation in the conflict between management and employee representatives," SZ wrote in the article.
The proposed freeze is part of a broader restructuring plan the executive board approved, SZ said, citing internal documents. It added that all regions and plants are expected to make an "appropriate" contribution to Volkswagen's "Group Target Picture," a turnaround strategy aimed at rescuing the automaker.
The plans follow Volkswagen's September decision to slash its outlook and double its job-cut target to 100,000 positions.
