Volkswagen workers set to launch rolling strikes at nine plants in Germany for the second time in a week .

The strikes ratchet up the pressure on management on the same day that the fourth round of negotiations over pay cuts and factory closures gets under way.

IG Metall , the union representing most Volkswagen workers, is rejecting the company's call for employees to accept a 10% reduction in salaries in order to help the carmaker remain competitive.
