The German carmaker Volkswagen will compensate its employees in one of the company’s two factories in Russia, if they agree to resign voluntarily, as reported today by the newspaper “The Kommersant.”
According to the same publication, the compensation, which in some cases can be equal to six months’ salary, will be given to the 200-person staff at the Nizhny Novgorod plant.
Volkswagen announced in March that production at its Kaluga and Nizhny Novgorod plant plants would have to be suspended until further notice due to Western sanctions.
At the same time, as announced, vehicle exports to Russia would be stopped immediately.
Kommersant quoted union sources as saying that if workers accepted VW’s offer before June 17, they would receive six months’ salary. The agreement will also cover medical care by the end of 2022.
