21 November, 2001The workers at Volkswagen's plant in Sao Bernardo in Brazil voted Wednesday to accept a management offer to cut salaries and working hours by 15 percent to save 3,000 jobs and pave the way for a modernisation of the plant.
BRAZIL: Almost all the 16,000 workers from the Sao Bernardo plant voted in favour of the deal, ABC Metalworkers' Union told The Associated Press.
The agreement was negotiated last week by union leader Luiz Marinho at VW's headquarter in Germany. As a direct result of the negotiation, the workers ended a week-old strike on Monday, but said they needed two days to study the proposal before voting on it.
