The Christian union has expressed its dissatisfaction with the decision made by Imperial Logistics to terminate 76 temporary employment contracts without any form of social consultation. This move affects workers at the Audi Brussels car factory, as well as 371 temporary workers at the automaker from Forest who are also losing their jobs.
The announcement that the new generation of the Q8 e-tron will no longer be produced at the Vorst factory from 2027 has further complicated matters, forcing Audi to seek solutions for the Brussels factory. The union has raised concerns over the lack of social consultation in this decision, which is causing uncertainty among workers about their future.
In light of these developments, Audi needs to take a coordinated approach to address the challenges facing the automotive industry in the region. This could involve exploring new business models and technologies, investing in training and development programs for employees, and working closely with stakeholders to identify opportunities for growth and innovation. Only by taking a proactive and collaborative approach can Audi hope to overcome these challenges and build a sustainable future for its operations in Belgium.
