Volkswagen said last week that it would have to suspend production of the Golf and Passat at the Wolfsburg and Emden plants for around a week because the suppliers weren’t delivering parts.
On Aug. 22, the company said 27,700 workers were affected by the dispute at six plants in Germany.
Volkswagen and the German-based suppliers are expected to hold talks Monday. Lower Saxony economy minister Olaf Lies, who sits on Volkswagen’s supervisory board, told Deutschlandfunk radio: “I can only encourage all involved not to let it drag on.”
