flag IG Metall challenges Tesla’s Berlin factory works council majority, citing union-busting and discrimination, in a vote with 2,400 employees from 100 nations.

flag A labor dispute at Tesla’s Berlin-area factory intensifies as IG Metall seeks control of the works council in a pivotal vote, challenging a non-union majority despite winning 39% of votes in 2024. flag The union alleges Tesla obstructed collective bargaining, engaged in union-busting tactics, and created unequal working conditions, including discrimination claims against African workers, while Tesla defends its pay and benefits and warns future investment may be at risk if the union gains power. flag The election, involving over 2,400 employees from 100 nationalities, reflects broader tensions between German labor traditions and corporate autonomy, with mixed worker feedback on conditions and management responsiveness.
