IG Metall says it will continue fighting for workers’ rights despite failing to win majority on employee body

Europe’s largest trade union has said it will continue to fight for the rights of workers at Elon Musk’s Tesla factory near Berlin, despite failing in its attempt to secure control of the plant’s works council.

IG Metall had hoped to gain majority rights on the elected body of employees that negotiates everything from working hours to pay deals with company management.
