Volkswagen struggles with high labor costs in Germany, impacting competitiveness against rivals like BMW.
Volkswagen faces difficulties staying competitive in Germany due to high labor costs, spending between 15.8% and 17.5% of revenue on labor, compared to rivals like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, who spend between 9.5% and 11%.
The high costs are partly because VW makes many components internally and employs nearly 45% of its workforce in Germany, where labor costs are the highest globally, averaging 62 euros per hour.
Unions demand a 7% pay rise, while Volkswagen threatens a 10% cut, amid broader concerns about Germany's industrial competitiveness.
