The Volkswagen Group once again highlights that the German automobile industry is in deep recession. Tens of thousands of German workers plan to hold a protest on Monday to demand job security and factory protection. Volkswagen lowered its profit expectations last Friday evening. The company's employees, as well as employees of the Mercedes-Benz Group, BMW, Audi, Porsche, and major parts suppliers, will participate in demonstrations at more than 280 events across the country. The strong German Metals Industry Union urges companies to protect factories and jobs, and at the same time calls on the government led by Chancellor Friedrich Mertz to reduce energy costs and protect the local industry from being impacted by low-priced imported products.
