Investing.com -- Workers at Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s German plant have signed a union petition, demanding longer breaks and additional staff. The petition was signed by approximately 3,000 employees, indicating a continuing disagreement between the U.S. electric vehicle manufacturer and unions.
The petition is set to be presented to the management during a works council meeting on Thursday, as per the IG Metall union’s flyer. This union represents the workers at Tesla’s German plant.
In response to the union’s move, Tesla plans to share the results of its internal survey during the same meeting. The company had asked about 7,500 workers, out of the total 11,000 employees at the plant, if they were satisfied with their jobs. According to Tesla’s statement, around 80% of the surveyed staff indicated satisfaction, 5% expressed dissatisfaction, and the remaining employees remained neutral.
Tesla is preparing to increase production of its new Model Y, a redesigned mid-size SUV produced in Berlin. To manage the increased workload, the company has converted 300 temporary jobs into permanent positions starting from next month.
A spokesperson for IG Metall acknowledged the increase in staffing but expressed concerns that the added workforce might not be sufficient to meet the higher production demands as the Model Y production accelerates.
