Part 3/8:
This situation is not isolated; it poses concerns not just for the company's German operations but also for its facilities in the U.S., including the Chattanooga plant. The company is negotiating with the IG Metall union, akin to the United Auto Workers (UAW) in the United States, regarding a proposed 10% pay cut impacting 120,000 workers in Germany. The union's resistance raises further questions regarding the company's future viability.
