Workers at the German Tesla factory fell on a petition calling for better working conditions, as the IG Metall Federation is pushing to expand its foot in the only European factory for ELON Musk for the electric car.

More than 3000 employees-on the course of a quarter-workforce of the factory-signed a request for more comfort, the best employees and the end of administrative harassment, according to IG Metall, after a study conducted by the Federation found that more than 90 percent of employees suffered from material problems related to work, such as back pain.

The production facility in Tesla is the only car factory in Germany, where wages are not set through the Union negotiations. Its business council, which represents the employees of the company’s supervisory council, leads one of the members of the union team, which is anomalous in the automotive industry in Germany.

Last spring, Ig Metall failed to secure a majority in the Business Council at Tesla Factory outside Berlin, and since then the pressure on actors who accuses him of consensus with the administration has been intensified.

Dirk Schools, IG Metall’s regional head, said that the petition was a sign that the employees “stand on their demands for better working conditions” and challenge “wrong information from the administration.”

Timing It has been involved in a dispute over employment with unions in Sweden since 2023, while in the United States accused The alleged anti -union behavior. Musk was explicit about his hatred for trade unions.

Tesla did not respond to a request to comment on the petition by German workers.

The pressure on the working conditions in the European Tesla factory comes with a decrease in sales of the auto maker in Germany, after Musk’s general support for the far -right alternative to the Germany Party.

In February, Tesla sales in Germany fell 76 percent to 1429 cars. This was consistent with the decrease in sales in many European countries such as Sweden, France and Italy.

Christian Pinner, IG Metall president, has warned by the billionaire that the federation will not return away from the German Tesla factory. She said: “We do not allow unions -free areas. Not even on Mars, Elon Musk.”
