The works council of Volkswagen Navarre It has demanded this Friday that the company has the battery cell assembly plant at the Landaben plant to guarantee employment. Otherwise, he has warned that 600 jobs are “up in the air” from 2027.

The chairman of the committee, Alfredo Morales (UGT)has stated that this plant should come within the Landaben plant “because it brings added value, because this technology is key to the technological and industrial development of the plant and because it will cover the shortage of personnel from the year 2027”.

“Because of the cell assembly plant, we have no surpluses. If not, we will have 600 jobs in the air from 2027,” he stressed.

Alfredo Morales has explained that the management of Volkswagen Navarra has handed over to the committee that the decision on the battery plant “does not correspond to this management” but to “higher levels”, which the works council will ask for, with the cooperation of the committee worldwide, to received by the management of the group.

Morales, accompanied by representatives of the rest of the unions on the committee (CCOO, ELA, LAB and CGT, as well as UGT) has explained that there will be a production decline in the coming years and within the transformation process for electric car production.

“Volumes drop significantly in 2024 and crash in 2025, and continue to crash until mid-2026,” he said.

Morales explained that the committee had already made it known that they would experience “a little journey through the desert” until 2026, although they were not “aware of the magnitude of that journey”.

“It is beyond our comprehension that anyone doubts that we don’t have that battery cell assembly plant in Volkswagen Navarra, apart from the fact that we gave it to a third party to make that investment,” he said.
