Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) is taking its drive for record output to court after labor representatives opposed hiring more temporary employees, in a rare clash between the carmaker’s management and the shop floor.
The world’s largest maker of luxury cars employs about 1,100 workers without longer-term contracts at its Leipzig factory in eastern Germany, or almost 30 percent of the total. Labor representatives refused to support a new round of temporary contracts, saying the practice creates a two-tier system of employees. A first court hearing on the issue is scheduled for tomorrow.
