Mercedes Demands Employees Work Longer Hours Without a Pay Raise

The German auto giant has threatened to close one of its plants in Germany if workers do not agree to increase their working hours by five hours per week without additional pay. This was reported by WirtschaftsWoche, citing its sources.

According to the publication, the company is considering an alternative scenario—expanding production in Eastern Europe and scaling back operations at one of its sites in Germany. Such a decision would allow Mercedes to cut costs amid growing competition and declining demand.

Not only jobs but also customary bonuses may be at risk. The list of potential cuts includes performance bonuses, vacation pay, and Christmas bonuses, which the company’s management explains as necessary to adapt to new economic realities.
