- According to the European and World Group Works Council, executives want to freeze pay for around 660,000 employees worldwide at 2026 levels through 2030.
- The works council explicitly names Audi, MAN and Porsche; their major German companies reportedly fall under metal and electrical industry agreements.
- Pay has not been bindingly frozen, the works council says; collective bargaining will continue through decentralized negotiations.
- With consumer prices rising similarly, employees could lose ten percent or more in purchasing power, the works council estimates.
absurd— The European and World Works Council (E/WKBR) called the plans 'absurd' in a statement, adding that a worldwide implementation is unlikely to be realistic.
