Audi signals possible job cuts at Neckarsulm, reversing no-layoff pledge

Audi has signaled it may invoke a 'bad weather clause' to allow operational layoffs at its Neckarsulm plant, reversing a prior commitment to avoid such cuts until 2033. The automaker cites its ongoing crisis, though specific triggers and scope remain unspecified. This marks a notable reversal in labor policy and signals deepening strain in the German auto sector.
