Volkswagen workers strike at nine German plants over proposed pay cuts and factory closures.

Volkswagen workers in Germany are striking at nine plants in response to the company's proposed 10% pay cuts and plans to close three factories. The strikes come amid a financial crisis for the carmaker, which is facing lower European sales and increased competition from Chinese automakers. The IG Metall union is leading negotiations, with the next round set for December 9th. If no deal is reached, the strikes could escalate into indefinite stoppages.
