Volkswagen said significant cost cuts are urgently needed as it reported a steep decline in third-quarter earnings on Wednesday and faced employee representatives angry at the possibility of the automaker's first plant closures in Germany.
The latest results "demonstrate the urgent need for action in a volatile environment characterized by intense competition," chief financial officer Arno Antlitz said. "This is why we are facing important and painful decisions that we need to make together and to bear together." The head of the employee council, Daniela Cavallo, said workers want to see a "comprehensive plan for the future," which needs to involve more than labor and plant costs.
