IG Metall calls for strike at Mercedes-Benz plant in Berlin

IG Metall calls for strike at Mercedes-Benz plant in Berlin

IG Metall has called for a work stoppage at a Mercedes-Benz factory in Berlin on Monday morning.

The German union says it is unhappy with the progress of talks over a new collective agreement.

The dispute includes a 5% pay rise, according to the stated reason for the strike.

The factory's production line could come to a halt if workers stop work.

The action is planned for Monday morning, though the reports do not say how long it may last.

The dispute matters because it could interrupt production at the Berlin plant while negotiations continue.
