The recent power struggle between Porsche (PSHG_p.DE) and the Volkswagen Group (VOWG.DE) produced one loser, dismissed Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking, and one winner, VW patriarch Ferdinand Piech. But a labor union leader who acted behind the scenes, Berthold Huber, the chairman of the powerful IG Metall metalworkers union, also wants to be counted among the victors. While the two adversaries fought openly, Huber prepared his coup, quietly and in secret. His plan is to enable the more than 380,000 employees of the combined VW-Porsche Group to hold shares in Europe's largest automaker. In addition to the Porsche and Piech families, the State of Lower Saxony and the Emirate of Qatar, Huber wants employees to "hold a significant share" of the company. He is aiming for 10 percent, and he wants to see employees share in the profits of the group's many brands, from Audi to Skoda.
