Tesla criticized for withholding pay from sick German workers

Tesla is facing criticism for allegedly withholding salaries from sick workers at its German factory. Reports indicate that the company is questioning employees' medical certificates and threatening to stop pay, which has drawn backlash from a major German union. The union claims Tesla is engaging in wrongful practices, including refusing to pay sick leave and pressuring employees to sign termination agreements. These accusations come as Tesla struggles with declining market share in Germany and increasing negative attention on social media. The situation has intensified following protests against Elon Musk's political views and incidents involving Tesla vehicles in Berlin. Public reactions on platforms like Reddit have been largely critical, highlighting tensions between American companies and European labor laws.
