Industrie: 44 Prozent mehr Gehalt als der Schnitt – das sind die Privilegien der Autobranche
In der Autoindustrie bahnt sich eine heftige Auseinandersetzung über Bezahlung und Arbeitszeiten an. Das Handelsblatt beschreibt vorteilhafte tarifliche und betriebliche Regelungen.
In the auto industry, there is a fierce battle raging over the perks enjoyed by employees, according to reports from the Handelsblatt. Auto giants are pushing in the metal and electrical industries' collective bargaining agreement in the fall to eliminate special payments and even increase working hours. Mercedes-Benz management vowed to examine all special payments in Germany to determine which ones they can continue to afford, having written this at the end of July.
Just before that, board member Martin Brudermüller had called for a return to a 40-hour week in the Handelsblatt. Volkswagen and BMW also plan to make cuts. Labor representatives have announced resistance already. "Attacks on employees' wages and working hours are smoke screens masking their own failure in future products," said IG Metall tariff delegate Nadine Boguslawski to the Handelsblatt.
Workers are demanding investment in future products and secure locations instead of mere cost cuts. According to Handelsblatt research, the auto industry boasts a multitude of privileges compared to other industries.
