With the start of the night shift on Tuesday, the car manufacturer Volkswagen is reducing its production as announced. In addition to the plant in Wolfsburg, delivery areas in the Braunschweig plant are also affected, as the company announced on Friday. The background is therefore a production failure of a German supplier due to corona cases in the workforce.
According to VW, the company management and the works council have agreed to report short-time work for the employees concerned. How many employees are involved was open. From corporate circles it was said that the production of the Golf in Wolfsburg and the plant in Emden were particularly affected. This could mean a high four-digit to almost five-digit number of employees. The supplier is supposed to be a supplier of foam parts or components for seats.
