Tesla Boosts Wages by 4% at German Gigafactory

The wage increase comes alongside the conversion of 500 temporary workers to permanent positions at the Grünheide facility.

Twelve thousand employees at Tesla's Grünheide gigafactory have received a 4% wage increase starting November.
Tesla has converted 500 temporary positions into permanent roles, marking a significant shift in employment status.
Despite the wage increase, the IG Metall union was not involved in the decision-making process regarding pay adjustments.
IG Metall continues to criticize the working conditions at the Grünheide plant, citing high worker stress and absenteeism.
Tesla's wage announcement contrasts with industry trends in Germany, where other automakers are facing job cuts and plant closures.
