Overview

  • The 4% direct wage increase applies for 2025 and ends the strike notice at the Puebla assembly plant.
  • About 7,000 workers at the Cuautlancingo facility will benefit, according to the company.
  • The agreement was reached hours before a planned 11:00 strike start after talks moved to federal labor bodies.

  • Volkswagen characterized the outcome as reinforcing labor stability at the site, and Puebla’s labor authorities publicly welcomed the settlement.
