Autoindustrie: „Das ist so billig, Ola Källenius“ – Mercedes erwägt Abzug von Produktion aus Deutschland
Mercedes will eine längere Wochenarbeitszeit durchsetzen und Sonderzahlungen streichen. Eine Kundgebung am Montag gibt Einblicke in die Verhandlungen mit dem Betriebsrat.
Mercedes-Benz may face a reduction in production capacity within Germany, according to the company's deputy management council head Michael Häberle. Speaking at a nationwide IG Metall protest action on Monday, Häberle mentioned that the management plans to reduce output at all German sites in the future. This is not the first time that Mercedes has shifted production to low-wage countries from Germany.
The company's management is discussing a 38-hour workweek with its employees and is also announcing concessions on Christmas bonuses, holiday pay, and annual profit sharing. These measures are aimed at reducing costs per hour worked in Germany and making Mercedes more competitive overall. The management announced these plans in a company-wide email in June.
At the time, a video featuring the company's CEO, Ola Källenius, was shown to workers in the factories.
