Volkswagen labor representatives said they will not allow plant closures, but remain open to proposals to secure the future of under-used production sites in Germany. The statement suggests ongoing restructuring tensions and limited flexibility around cost-cutting measures. The news is incremental and likely more relevant to VW labor negotiations than to broad market pricing.
