All VW locations on the test bench? - Guido Bünstorf as an expert in an interview with Hessischer Rundfunk

@INCHER

The cost-cutting measures announced by VW, which have not yet been decided upon, are causing concern among employees at the Baunatal plant. A closure of the plant could have a considerable impact in northern Hesse. Prof Dr Guido Bünstorf answers questions about the current situation at VW in an interview with "Hessenschau" in the television channel of Hessischer Rundfunk.

In the interview with hessenschau.de, INCHER member Prof Dr Guido Bünstorf says: "VW has not ruled out closing a plant in Germany, which means that Baunatal is also at risk in principle. However, I can also imagine that the threatened plant closure is primarily intended to send a signal that labour costs need to be reduced"
