Volkswagen wants its workforce to take pay cuts of 10 per cent in order to remain competitive and safeguard jobs, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

The announcement comes after a request from the IG Metall union to hike salaries by 7% and reinstate collective agreements. The company says it is unable to meet those demands.
