根据汽车制造商的工人代表称，AG正推动在2030年前实施全球薪酬冻结，随着德国新一轮工资谈判的展开，这将引发与劳工的冲突。
AG is pushing for a global pay freeze through 2030, according to the automaker’s worker representatives, setting up a clash with labor as fresh wage negotiations get underway in Germany.
公司的欧洲和全球工会理事会表示，大众汽车执行董事会已指示全球人力资源经理规划在2030年前不涨薪，将薪酬维持在2026年的水平。劳工代表称，该指令自10月初起已生效。
The company’s European and Global Works Council said Volkswagen’s executive board has instructed human-resources managers worldwide to plan for no pay increases through 2030, holding compensation at 2026 levels. The directive has been in force since the beginning of October, according to the labor representatives.
大众汽车拒绝置评，称公司将很快就与强大的IG Metall工会进行集体谈判协议的谈判。
VW declined to comment, saying the company will soon enter negotiations on the collective bargaining agreement with the powerful IG Metall union.
这些计划将引发与德国最大的工业工会IG Metall的一轮艰难谈判，该工会正推动涨薪5%。这些谈判的目标是大众汽车目前适用于德国运营的工资协议，该协议将持续至今年12月底。
The plans set up a tough round of bargaining with IG Metall, Germany’s largest industrial union, which is pushing for a 5% pay increase. Those talks target Volkswagen’s current wage agreement for operations in Germany that runs through the end of December.
这些提议在IG Metall的谈判过程中可能会被削弱。德国《南德意志报》率先报道了这些提议。
The proposals are likely to be watered down during IG Metall negotiations. Germany’s Sueddeutsche Zeitung first reported the proposals.
尽管双方的初始立场存在分歧，但大众汽车和IG Metall历来通过谈判解决主要的薪酬争议。双方都希望避免长期对峙，因为汽车制造商正试图在保持工厂运转和工人立场稳定的同时，执行一项广泛的重组计划。
Despite differing opening positions, VW and IG Metall have traditionally settled major pay disputes through negotiation. Both sides are keen to avoid a prolonged confrontation as the automaker tries to execute a sweeping restructuring while keeping plants running and workers onside.
9月份，大众汽车在其强大的工人代表推动下通过了一项协议，将全球裁员人数翻倍至10万人，约占员工总数的15%。同年，它还将今年的营业额预期下调至不超过1%。大众汽车计划通过裁员和开拓新的利润来源，到2030年将营业回报率恢复至至少8%。
Volkswagen in September pushed through an agreement with its powerful worker representatives that will double global job cuts to 100,000, roughly 15% of the workforce. That month, it also slashed its operating forecast to no more than 1% this year. VW plans to get back to at least 8% operating return by 2030, helped by the cuts and conquering new profit pools.
IG Metall的常规工资谈判正值大众汽车进行更广泛重组的背景下。公司也在削减车型复杂性、降低产能，并寻求数十亿欧元的节约，以应对中国需求疲软、美国关税以及欧洲竞争加剧的情况。
The regular IG Metall wage talks come against this backdrop of a much broader restructuring at Volkswagen. The company is also cutting model complexity, reducing capacity and seeking billions of euros in savings as it adjusts to weaker demand in China, tariffs in the US and mounting competition in Europe.
更广泛的重组中一些最具争议的元素仍未解决，这表明工人紧张情绪可能持续存在并升级。虽然欧洲大部分汽车行业正面临回报下降的问题，但像宝马AG这样的较小竞争对手在谈判裁员方案时成功控制了不满情绪。
Some of the most contentious elements of the broader overhaul remain unresolved, indicating potential for simmering worker tensions that can become fraught. While much of Europe’s car industry is grappling with shrinking returns, smaller peers like BMW AG have contained discontent while negotiating redundancy packages.
潜在的分歧基于两个支柱。大众汽车尚未制定埃姆登、茨维考、汉诺威以及奥迪内卡苏尔姆工厂的长期生产计划。除非找到替代用途，否则这些工厂在2031年至2034年之间尚未被分配新车型生产任务。
Potential discord rests on two pillars. Volkswagen has yet to work out long-term production plans for plants in Emden, Zwickau, Hannover and Audi’s Neckarsulm site. Those sites haven’t been assigned new models to produce from between 2031 to 2034, unless alternative uses are found.
将大众乘用车品牌和部件业务从大众AG中剥离出来的提议，目前作为九月妥协的一部分被搁置。劳工方面担心这一步骤会削弱强大的共同决定权。首席执行官奥利弗·布鲁姆上个月表示，管理层仍在研究潜在的分拆方案。
A proposal to carve the Volkswagen passenger-car brand and components operations out of Volkswagen AG was, for now, dropped as part of the September compromise. Labor fears such a step would weaken powerful co-determination rights. Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume last month indicated management was still studying potential spin-offs.
