The IG Metall union said Tesla workers are complaining about safety hazards, including extreme workloads and overly ambitious targets.
As the UAW strikes keep disrupting automobile production at several Detroit Three plants in the US, it's business as usual for Tesla at its non-unionized Fremont Factory and Gigafactory Texas. But the same cannot be said about Tesla's manufacturing operations at the Giga Berlin plant in Germany that builds the Model Y. A rising number of Tesla workers at the site are reportedly joining the IG Metall union over working conditions, the labor organization claims.
'We want to speak with you and your teams about the questionable methods and actual goals of IG Metall,' read the email seen by Reuters. In response to Tesla's email to Giga Berlin employees, local IG Metall official Dirk Schulze said 'no one in Germany needs to hide their union membership' as the right to organize in a union and and to openly stand up for it in the workplace is guaranteed by the German Constitution.
