Summary
Dispute about working hours: Entrepreneur Stihl: 35-hour week no longer up-to-date. In the German car industry, the 35-hour week is standard for companies subject to tariffs – including Mercedes-Benz. The tariff talks in the metal and electrical industry start in autumn. The 35-hour week was once agreed with severe birth pain.

Of course, he now looks in particular at IG Metall here, because they must ultimately make the concessions. “But now that you’re heading towards 500,000 lost industrial jobs, you should really do everything you can to stop the bleeding.” Stihl went on to say that extending working hours without wage compensation would reduce labour costs relatively quickly. The IG Metall had called against the advance of the Board of Management at Mercedes-Benz nationwide to protests at the car manufacturer.
