Joint Statement from UAW, IG Metall and Volkswagen’s Group and World Group Works Council regarding VW’s new plant in South Carolina
IG Metall, the UAW and Volkswagen’s Group and World Group Works Council welcome the construction of a new plant in South Carolina, where electrified vehicles will be manufactured under the traditional US brand Scout Motors. This investment will create thousands of new manufacturing jobs and will further drive the transformation towards electromobility.
We also welcome the fact that the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board have clearly stated that Volkswagen and Scout will respect employees and trade union rights at the new site. This means that future employees will have the right to decide on union representation without intimidation or influence.
IG Metall, the UAW and the Volkswagen Group and World Group Works Council will monitor the process in a constructive way.
