The Mercedes plant in Ludwigsfelde, employing 2,000 workers, faces uncertainty as job cuts loom from 2030. While job security is assured until the end of 2029, employees worry about a potential reduction to 500 positions. Plans for a start-up factory focused on electric transporters and a competence center for eVan customizations have been proposed, yet the new all-electric Sprinter van will not be produced at this site.
The company's recent profit decline, attributed to weaknesses in the Chinese market, has exacerbated employee dissatisfaction. Tobias Kunzmann from IG Metall predicts that only a few hundred jobs may remain post-2030.
In response, management will address workforce concerns in a meeting scheduled for November 15.
