VW has to reverse salary cuts – works council wins in court. VW initially did not provide any information as to whether it would appeal the verdict.
VW is still leaving open the scope of the decision since the decision comes from the labor courts. In the case under discussion, the plaintiff benefited from the fact that VW had actually offered him a correspondingly paid position in 2015. “He would have gotten the job too. It was therefore correct to pay him that way as a works council member,” said the presiding judge.
