Volkswagen AG workers are gearing up for a second wave of walkouts across German plants on Monday, when management and labor leaders will hold a fourth round of talks over how to slash costs at the carmaker’s namesake brand.
The so-called warning strikes — designed to pressure executives during deadlocked negotiations — will last four hours, the IG Metall union said in a statement. That will mean double the production time lost at nine of VW’s German plants earlier this week.
