Volkswagen cuts hours at main Wolfsburg plant over parts shortage
Volkswagen is reducing work hours for employees at the German carmaker's main plant in Wolfsburg for three weeks in September due to a parts shortage caused by recent floods in Slovenia, a spokesperson for the company said on Monday. Group spokesman Andreas Meurer said that the short-time work measures would be in place from Sept. 11-29. In addition, there would be isolated shift cancellations at the carmaker's plant in Emden in northern Germany, added the spokesperson.
