Luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz is halting investment at its facilities in Germany, a board members announced on Thursday.
Mercedes-Benz is "forced to examine, in concrete and detailed terms, which sites in Germany we can still afford to maintain," board of management member Britta Seeger said in an interview published on the company's intranet.
Germany's major IG Metall trade union has enabled the possibility of longer warning strikes amid difficult negotiations for industrial employees.
"The board of IG Metall has pave the way for 24-hour warning strikes in the metalworking and electrical industry," the union said on Thursday.
The union accuses employers of intransigence after three rounds of negotiations without clear progress.
On Wednesday, regional chapters appealed for authorization for full-day warning strikes — the last step before a full union vote and an indefinite labor dispute.
"This escalation is completely excessive and counterproductive," Udo Dinglreiter, the president of the employers' umbrella organization, Gesamtmetall, said. He said that hundreds of thousands of jobs could be at risk.
