大众汽车（AG）正走向与其德国员工的新一轮对决，此前IG Metall工会威胁称，如果这家车企背离重启关键劳资协议的计划，将从1月开始发起罢工。
AG is heading toward a fresh showdown with its German workforce after the IG Metall union threatened walkouts from January if the carmaker backs away from plans to reopen key labor agreements.
工会表示，大众汽车已发出通知，将在年底终止其13项集体协议中的10项。此举将把薪资、工时、奖金和人员配置规则等问题重新摆上谈判桌。
The union said Volkswagen gave notice to terminate 10 of its 13 collective agreements at the end of the year. The move would put issues including pay, working hours, bonuses and staffing rules back on the table for negotiation.
IG Metall已给大众汽车截至本月底的期限撤回该举措。工会称，如果公司拒绝，将在强制劳资和平期于12月31日到期后，准备发起罢工和其他形式的工业行动。大众汽车发言人暂不予置评，但表示计划稍晚周五发布声明。
IG Metall has given Volkswagen until the end of the month to reverse the move. If the company refuses, the union said it will prepare strikes and other forms of industrial action once a mandatory period of labor peace expires on Dec. 31. A Volkswagen spokesman wouldn’t immediately comment, but said it plans to issue a statement later Friday.
这场冲突发生在首席执行官奥利弗·布鲁梅（Oliver Blume）试图重塑大众汽车之际，他计划在德国削减岗位、工厂成本和官僚机构，同时腾出资金用于电动汽车、软件和自动驾驶技术。
The clash lands in the middle of Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume’s attempt to reshape Volkswagen, cutting jobs, factory costs and bureaucracy in Germany while freeing up cash for electric cars, software and automated-driving technology.
这一改革反映了欧洲汽车行业更广泛的危机，制造商们正应对昂贵的国内运营、疲软的需求，以及开发新车和新技术更快、成本更低的中国竞争对手。
The overhaul reflects a wider crisis across Europe’s auto industry, where manufacturers are grappling with expensive domestic operations, weak demand and Chinese rivals that develop new vehicles and technology faster and at lower cost.
这场纠纷有可能重启2024年那场惨烈重组斗争的伤口，当时大众汽车与劳方领袖达成措施，IG Metall表示这些措施已每年节省约15亿欧元（约17亿美元）的人力成本。
The dispute risks reopening wounds from a bruising restructuring battle in 2024, when Volkswagen and labor leaders agreed on measures that IG Metall says are already saving about €1.5 billion ($1.7 billion) a year in labor costs.
该协议保护工人免受强制裁员之苦，期限至2030年，并包含了关于埃姆登、汉诺威和茨维考等工厂未来生产的承诺。最近的重组谈判未决定几家德国工厂的长远命运。
That pact protects workers against compulsory layoffs through 2030 and included commitments on future production at plants like Emden, Hanover and Zwickau. More recent restructuring talks stopped short of deciding the long-term fate of several German factories.
工会希望于11月24日开始正式谈判，以赶在12月3日的截止日期前，并表示谈判应从长远前景不明朗的工厂开始。
The union wants formal negotiations to begin on Nov. 24, ahead of a Dec. 3 deadline, and says talks should start at factories that have an uncertain longer-term outlook.
“我们并不寻求这场冲突，”IG Metall谈判代表托尔斯滕·格罗格说。但如果大众汽车坚持取消协议，工会将从明年初开始为“所有升级层级”的工业行动做准备。
“We are not seeking this conflict,” IG Metall negotiator Thorsten Gröger said. But if Volkswagen sticks with the cancellations, the union will prepare for “all escalation levels” of industrial action from the start of next year.
