Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker the executives of the German car manufacturer Volkswagen and the union Ig Metall have reached an agreement in the dispute over collective bargaining and the austerity program will be bought by an arms manufacturer that will try to keep as many jobs as possible while the factories in Zwickau and Emden will continue their production The German daily newspaper “Franfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” reported that 2030 jobs will be cut by 35 the goal should be achieved through severance pay programs and partial retirement Layoffs for operational reasons are excluded until the end of 2030 Management has accepted this clause because the 5 percent wage increase for employees provided for in the collective agreement for the metal and electrical engineering industry will initially be suspended profit sharing in May will be completely eliminated it will only be paid at a reduced rate until employees receive full profit sharing again for the 2030 financial year The previously paid holiday bonus (around 1.290 euros) will also no longer be paid but from 2027 there will be a bonus for IG Metall members which will initially amount to 254 euros and increase to 1.271 euros from 2030 Read also other news on Nova News Click here and receive updates on WhatsApp Follow us on the social channels of Nova News on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram,

surprisingly threatened with possible plant closures in Germany Now a candidate seems to have emerged involuntarily: As things stand the VW plant in Osnabrück will no longer have an assignment from Easter 2026 - because Porsche has adjusted its EV planning A Volkswagen spokesperson has now confirmed to German media that Porsche has not awarded the contract for production after 2026 to Osnabrück Three models from the VW Group are currently built there The VW T-Roc Cabrio is expected to be discontinued in spring 2026 without a successor and the former Karmann plant in Osnabrück is really only home to the production of the convertible offshoot The plant’s largest in-house customer is currently Porsche: the two-seater 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman have been built there in overflow production since 2022 – the vehicles that Porsche cannot build itself at the main plant in Zuffenhausen due to limited capacity and high demand come from Osnabrück there is no need for overflow production in Osnabrück It would have been questionable how economical a pure overflow production without a ‘fixed’ model in Osnabrück would have been anyway it is only confirmed that Porsche has not placed a follow-up order with the Osnabrück plant This step is not yet the automatic end for the plant The VW spokesperson told the German press agency DPA that a decision would be made in the autumn as part of the usual planning round: “The allocation of the Osnabrück plant is – as every year and for all plants in the Group – part of the planning round at the end of the year.” Osnabrück is the second-smallest VW plant in Germany after the Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden and currently employs around 2,300 people Following the insolvency of the supplier Kamann which had mainly manufactured convertible models for VW the German carmaker took over the plant itself The IG Metall trade union expressed its “surprise” regarding the latest information – not only about the non-awarding of the contract itself but also about how it was communicated Head of the works council Jürgen Placke told NDR there had already been “speculation that the deal would not materialise,” but the announcement before the planning round was unusual The mood at the plant was “extremely bad.” Due to high costs and poor capacity utilisation the VW Board of Management announced at the beginning of September that it could no longer rule out plant closures in Germany the names of potential plants on the brink of closure were not mentioned there has been speculation about candidates Osnabrück and the Gläserne Manufaktur have been mentioned repeatedly these are also the two smallest locations with potentially the lowest savings in the event of closure spiegel.de (in German) I agree with the Privacy policy

Osnabrück had issued a temporary order barring the use of their stadium after structural defects in the roof were identified This therefore put S04’s away game on matchday 32 (4/5) in doubt The club’s board is now demanding the integrity of the competition is maintained by sticking to the original date of the game and has offered several alternative suggestions to prevent the game from being postponed Matthias Tillmann (CEO) and Christina Rühl-Hamers made the FC Schalke 04’s board’s stance clear on Wednesday (1/5) The club also wishes to be honest and keep fans and the public up to date Bundesliga is currently approaching the end of the season with just three matchdays left to play matchdays that will decide both promotion and relegation – and thus the futures of several clubs It is important for both the clubs and the league that the competition is fair during this period of the season in particular FC Schalke 04 believe the integrity of the competition is in acute danger following the temporary order barring the use of the Bremer Brücke after structural defects in the roof were identified which could therefore see the game this weekend postponed The Royal Blues do not believe the situation is a case of force majeure as the problems with the roof have been known for years FC Schalke 04 cannot understand why discussions on an alternative venue to ensure the game can be played on 4th May were not immediately started as soon as the club knew of the problems It is also clear that the Royal Blues do not carry any responsibility for the current situation The club’s board therefore objects to the game being played at a later date Postponing and then rescheduling the game for between matchdays 33 and 34 would result in a clear competitive disadvantage for S04 Some examples of the reasons why are: While other teams would only play once a week the Knappen would have to play three games in eight days and end the season with two consecutive away games The sporting implications of this are clear – less time to recover effectively no time for training and pre-match preparation and more travelling over the last two matchdays Schalke 04 immediately offered several suggestions of their own accord on Tuesday (30/4) to try and get the game played on Saturday (4/5) despite the temporary barring of the Bremer Brücke The club initially spoke to representatives of the DFL and VfL Osnabrück’s board on the phone The Royal Blues suggested either that a) the game could be played with a small crowd or no crowd at all in Osnabrück (providing the authorities approved it in view of the security requirements) b) the match could be played at the VELTINS-Arena – with a small crowd or no crowd at all if necessary (and cost-neutral for Osnabrück) or c) the match could be played at a neutral venue (a ground in the two top flights with VAR installed) The board believes that moving the game to a different ground is possible and sensible A quick decision is vital in order for the necessary preparations to be made FC Schalke 04 is available for discussions at any time Should the game still not go ahead on Saturday the club reserves all legal means to protect the interests of the club and its members VfL Osnabrück informed FC Schalke 04 on Tuesday evening (30/4) that the city of Osnabrück has ordered the Stadion an der Bremer Brücke to shut with immediate effect The local authorities have issued a temporary order barring the use of the stadium after structural defects in the roof were identified during a regularly scheduled inspection “It hurts a bit,” said Ron Schallenberg after the 1-1 draw against Fortuna Düsseldorf particularly referring to the controversial non-penalty incident in injury time The Schalke defender doesn’t want to dwell on that however Schallenberg has analysed the whole picture – and concluded that it’s positive overall Following a frantic final few minutes at the VELTINS-Arena on Saturday evening (27/4) the controversial call to overturn a penalty for FC Schalke 04 proved to be a hot topic after the final whistle Everyone involved in the game came to the conclusion that the 1-1 draw between the Royal Blues and Fortuna Düsseldorf was a fair result Fortuna head coach Daniel Thioune and Kenan Karaman all spoke to the media after the match FC Schalke 04 extended their unbeaten run at home to seven games on Saturday evening as they drew 1-1 with third-placed Fortuna Düsseldorf Kenan Karaman fired the Royal Blues ahead in the 55th minute but his strike was cancelled out by Ao Tanaka’s finish twelve minutes later ©
