(FILES) An employee blows a whistle with the logo of German metalworkers' union IG Metall during a warning strike at the BMW plant in Leipzig, eastern Germany, on October 29, 2024, to support the union's demands in the upcoming round of talks. An industrial relations showdown looms this week as Germany's powerful IG Metall union is seeking to gain control of the works council at US billionaire Elon Musk's Tesla plant outside Berlin. The works council, an elected body of employees that negotiates pay deals and working hours with management, has long been an unshakeable component of German corporate life, especially in the auto sector. But at Tesla's "Gigafactory", it has been a persistent bugbear for the management since the plant opened in 2022 -- with this week's Monday-to-Wednesday ballot marking a high point in tensions.
