The announcement was made by the Taubaté Metalworkers’ Union, which is holding meetings with workers to present the proposals of the agreement.
The vote is scheduled for Thursday, November 9.

One of the main highlights is the production of a new SUV vehicle, with a launch expected in 2025.
This not only diversifies the factory’s production line but also promises to boost the automotive market in the region.
Benefits For Workers
In addition to the prospect of new job positions, the collective agreement brings improvements for the factory employees. Among the main points are:
- Job Security Until 2028: Workers will have job security for the next five years.
- Hiring of 137 Employees: The production of the SUV will require the hiring of 137 new employees, strengthening the team.
- Increase in Minimum Salary: The minimum salary will rise from R$ 2,100 to R$ 2,400, providing a more attractive compensation.
- Improved Food Voucher: Workers will receive a food voucher of R$ 1,000.
- Profit Sharing: Profit sharing will also see an increase, rising from R$ 15,740 to R$ 17,000.
Measures To Maintain The Competitiveness Of The Volkswagen Factory Are Also Part Of The Package
To maintain the competitiveness of the factory, Volkswagen will also adopt some measures, such as the maintenance of the Voluntary Dismissal Program, which has been in effect since 2021.
In addition, collective vacations and layoffs will be used when the market shows instability.
The outsourcing of 65 workers from pre-assembly and maintenance sectors is also part of the company’s plan.
The last investment made by Volkswagen in the Taubaté unit was announced in 2021, with the implementation of the new production line on the MQB platform.
This investment is part of the R$ 7 billion that the company planned to invest in Latin America between 2022 and 2026.
Although the exact amount for the Taubaté factory has not been disclosed.
With the MQB platform, the factory expanded its operation to three shifts and employed about 3,100 workers.
Job security, at that time, was guaranteed until 2025.
However, in March of this year, the factory faced challenges due to the sales of new cars being below expectations, resulting in collective vacations for about 2,900 workers.
In July, a two-month layoff for 800 employees was anticipated, but due to the positive sales performance of the Polo Track, manufactured at the unit, the layoff was suspended.
In the end, the company opted for an additional 10 days of collective vacation for 2,000 employees.
This collective agreement at the Volkswagen factory in Taubaté is a positive sign for the local economy and for workers, strengthening the automotive industry in the region and offering job positions in a crucial sector for Brazil’s growth.
