I assume that "Vula" is an abbreviation of "Vorgezogener Urlaub". This is one of the measures that are applied to attenuate the effects of the crisis on employment. Many Google results when combined with "Kurzarbeit".
Example sentence:
Weitere Maßnahmen: tarifliche Verkürzung der Wochenarbeitszeit, vorgezogener Urlaub, mehr Teilzeit, Abbau von Überstunden und Arbeitszeitkonten.
