Volkswagen, One of the World’s Largest Automobile Manufacturers, Decided to Suspend the Layoff at the Factory Located in Taubaté in the Vale do Paraíba, Which Was Scheduled to Begin in June.

The layoff would be a period in which some employees would have their work contracts temporarily suspended and would receive their salaries while attending professional training courses. The suspension of the layoff occurs after the company stated that the reason would be the adjustment of production to meet a specific market demand.

In early May, Volkswagen announced that there would be a layoff scheduled for June, suspending 800 workers for a period that could range from two to five months, eliminating a shift on the Polo Track production line.

This Shutdown Would Endanger Polo Track Sales Volume in the Region, but with the Layoff Suspension, This Problem Was Temporarily Resolved.

However, the suspension of the second shift will move from June 1 to July 1, due to the policy that, according to the Metalworkers’ Union of Taubaté and Region, was signaled by the federal government regarding a new program for the automotive sector. This new automotive program, which is expected to be under analysis at the Palácio do Planalto, would also address the return of the popular car in a new format.
