Volkswagen continues to work hard at the bargaining table with the UAW to reach a strong first contract that makes our great Chattanooga jobs even better. We have a compelling offer on the table that guarantees employees a 14% pay raise over the four-year contract and a 25% raise over five years following recent pay increases. We heard our employees’ feedback and, for the first time ever, offered COLA and profit sharing so they can feel confident in their wages and share in the company’s success. We worked to decrease health care costs and guarantee those lower costs over the course of the contract. The auto industry is facing massive challenges and our own company is making tough decisions around the globe to remain competitive. We want to improve our employees’ experience, but we also won’t agree to anything that could limit our ability to invest in Chattanooga in the future. We are committed to getting creative and reaching an agreement that keeps Chattanooga thriving.
