The average workweek will pass from 28.8 hours to 33 hours in production and to 34 hours in administrative services without wage compensation. If necessary, the workweek may increase further to 1 or 2 extra hours up to 35 hours a week, however with wage adjustment. These increases in work time will be set in a weekly “corridor” from 26 to 34 hours paid on the basis of 28.8 hours: “Within this wide corridor we can react better to market trends without heavy changes in the overall wage load.”, commented Horst Neumann, personnel manager at Volkswagen. For IG Metall, the agreement comforts the union in its refusal to return to the 35-hour workweek without wage compensation.
