VW Managers Fail in Lawsuit for Salary Increase - Volkswagen's Inflation Bonus Row: Most Lawsuits Rejected, One Uphold Dismissed
Volkswagen Group has faced legal challenges over its decision not to pass on the second part of an inflation compensation bonus and a planned wage increase to non-union employees. The regional labor court initially rejected most lawsuits, but one was upheld and later dismissed on appeal.
In February 2024, Volkswagen Group decided against passing on the second part of the inflation compensation bonus (worth 1,000 euros) and a planned 3.3% wage increase to non-union employees, citing the need for savings. This move sparked a series of lawsuits from managers seeking these payments.
The regional labor court initially rejected most of these lawsuits. However, one lawsuit was upheld, only to be dismissed later on appeal. The specific executives involved in approving the second part of the price development subsidy and the highest labor court's decision in their revision procedures remain unclear, as no detailed information was found in the provided sources.
Volkswagen Group's decision not to pass on the second part of the inflation compensation bonus and the planned wage increase to non-union employees has been a contentious issue. While most lawsuits were rejected, one was upheld and later dismissed. The company's promises to managers were deemed 'open to change', allowing for potential revisions. The specific details of the executives involved and the final court rulings remain uncertain.
