@Walter Hinteler,
The dispute at Tesla's Gigafactory in Brandenburg continues to escalate.
IG Metall has filed criminal charges against the head of the Tesla plant in Grünheide for defamation. In addition, according to a statement released on Tuesday, the union has applied to the Frankfurt (Oder) labour court for a temporary injunction against the managing director.
The aim is to prohibit André Thierig from further spreading false claims, it said.
The union is also preparing a lawsuit for obstruction of union work. IG Metall is responding to accusations made by Thierig against a union employee last week.
Elon Musk's ideology is ultimately all about political influence and maximising wealth.
The Tesla committees approved a share package for him that could make him the first trillionaire in history. This makes it all the more worrying that his representatives in Grünheide are apparently trying to exert massive influence on the works council elections. For example, they are said to have given the impression that the plant would not be expanded if IG Metall won the election. Such actions are an attack on an economic model in which workers' rights count.
