Blume suggested a number of options to cut labour costs, including cutting holidays to increasing annual working hours, or increasing weekly working hours without any compensation in pay.
LMAO! Coming back to nazi roots? Does this dude want to find a group of people to force to work for free ?
Tax this fucking guy’s wealth. He’s way too cozy in his damn ivory tower. #TaxWealthNotWork
A tall order from some leech who hasn’t done any productive work in all his life while making millions from other people’s work.
sure my dude, go ahead, work longer hours
Volkswagen can crash and burn what all I care anymore. Bad for the actual people that do the work sure, but we can’t support the lifestyle of those CEOs anymore!
I’d like it better if the workers overthrew those managers and CEOs and took control of the production themselves. That would also lower the cost as those managers take hundreds of millions of Euros every year and give billions to investors who don’t even produce anything at all.
After decades of keeping wages low to the point where we have a low 2-digit percentage in real wage increases in the same time frame that saw +250% real economic output per capita…
And at a time when the German economy suffers from low domestic demand in particular, caused by low disposable income…
They know how to improve the economy: by lowering wages
Fuck off to your alternative reality where “the economy” is synonymous with the insane wealth increases of the upper <1% at the expense of everyone else!
The CEO is not going to get his new yacht if everyone has your attitude.
Well… I have a solution:
When –after all the decades of neoliberal brain-washing– people with this attitude still exist those CEOs should probably just give up and try something new… 😅
Before you all grab your forks and pitchforks, keep in mind that in Germany a workday is 7 hours (now you can grab 'em).
Even if it was less… No pay for extra work is no pay for extra work. No matter how long the work was initially.
It’s 8. Although in some industries unions brought that down to 7 (as is the case here)
And what does that matter?
Let’s hope they don’t introduce China’s 996 working culture as its Chinese rivals do …
Don’t give German CEOs and politicians any ideas.
All I ever hear from Volkswagen is mass layoffs. Asking for longer work hours is bad already but with this background it‘s pure evil. They‘re evil and if they can only stay competitive being evil they‘re a net negative for society and should just disappear.
Well…
The company was literally created by the nazis…
And how is that relevant?
