Tesla has given all of its workers at Gigafactory Berlin new, higher wages without union involvement.
The wage increases come at a time when some German automakers are facing difficulties, with Volkswagen planning to close three factories and potentially cutting tens of thousands of jobs.
Tesla HR director Erik Demmler stated that the wage increases are good news for the workforce amidst talks of job cuts in the German automotive industry.
Tesla has been involved in conflicts with unions in various regions, including Europe and the United States, and has faced criticism for its workplace conditions.
