Volkswagen will freeze salaries even at Škoda. "We will not allow this," unions report and threaten with a strike.

Volkswagen plans to freeze wages for all employees until 2030, affecting Škoda Auto workers. Union leader Jaroslav Povšík threatens strikes if layoffs occur. The unions oppose the wage freeze, arguing it undermines workers' rights. Škoda Auto has been performing well, with rising wages and bonuses, and is currently profitable. The company is concerned about potential layoffs as VW restructures, which could impact employment in Czech factories. The unions demand fair treatment and have warned of production stoppages if job cuts happen.
