The chairman of Volkswagen s Group Works Council, Bernd Osterloh: Maximum security for Scania s employees. Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, the Swedish trade unions at Scania and Volkswagen s Global Works Council have signed an agreement to secure employment at Scania s locations that will come into effect on the successful completion of Volkswagen s offer for Scania. The agreement essentially stipulates that production cannot be relocated without the approval of the employee representatives, that Scania s head office is and will remain in Södertälje, that research and development will be retained there in full, and that Scania s employee representatives will be involved in all significant decisions by the Volkswagen Group that affect the company s commercial vehicles strategy. On 21 February 2014, Volkswagen announced a public offer to the shareholders of Scania to tender all shares in Scania to Volkswagen at a price of SEK 200 in cash per share. The acceptance period of the offer ends on 25 April 2014. There has never been any doubt that we are one hundred percent behind Scania s employees, locations and development centers as well as the company s head office in Södertälje, said Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, CEO of Volkswagen, adding: For Scania as a company and for its employees, the planned transaction represents an attractive, long-term prospect with additional business opportunities. This will allow Scania to continue its success as an independent brand with unique vehicles and services, as well as leading technologies. Bernd Osterloh, the chairman of Volkswagen s Group Works Council, said: Together with our colleagues at Scania, we were able to reach an agreement ensuring that Scania s employees benefit from maximum security. Together, we have extended the opportunities for codetermination for Scania s trade unions, in line with the Volkswagen Group s tradition. As Volkswagen s Works Council, it is important to us that our colleagues at Scania can be sure that their company can look towards a bright future. This is assured by the agreement. It also guarantees that Scania will remain Scania. We are looking forward to being able to intensify our more than ten years of close cooperation with our colleagues at Scania.
