Mercedes demands 260 hours of FREE work — 90,000 workers revolt as profits crashce. Mercedes-Benz has triggered an absolute worker revolt after demanding 260 hours of unpaid labor from its workforce! As profits plummet amid a brutal EV transition and fierce competition, management's push to increase the workweek from 35 to 40 hours without extra pay has sparked mass protests and strikes across German factories. With bonuses delayed and tensions with the IG Metall union reaching a boiling point, the legacy automaker is facing a massive crisis. In this video, we break down why Mercedes is desperate to cut costs and what this unprecedented worker uprising means for the future of European manufacturing.
