At Volkswagen, where the production of spare parts has partially resumed following the Easter weekend, management and the central works council at the German car manufacturer presented, on Wednesday 9 April, a company-wide agreement offering a catalogue of 92 health measures and behavioural rules designed to gradually resume production while protecting employees against Covid-19 infection. This catalogue of measures is geared towards Volkswagen’s German plants but is intended to serve as a basic model for all group sites throughout the world. Speaking to Planet Labor, Volkswagen production spokesman Jörn Roggenbuck covered these measures in greater detail.
A partial restart in stages for 50% of staff. The German and European plants of the world’s largest car manufacturer are currently at a halt and, according to the group’s management, no decision on a general and gradual restart will be announced before 19 April. However, in addition to the technical, IT maintenance and safety teams still active at production sites, the Volkswagen brand has announced the partial recommencement of the production of certain spare parts from Tuesday 14 April at the Braunschweig, Kassel, Salzgitter, Hanover (Lower Saxony) and Chemnitz (Saxony) sites.
