IG Metall, Germany’s largest manufacturing labor union, widened protests including temporary walkouts into the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg in a push for higher pay raise for workers at industrial companies.
The 500 employees on the night shift at Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz car plant in the Stuttgart suburb of Sindelfingen halted work early this morning, and further temporary walkouts are planned at the site as well as at Porsche AG’s main auto factory in Stuttgart’s Zuffenhausen district, IG Metall said today in an e-mailed statement.
