"German authorities have opened an investigation into an IG Metall union representative following allegations that a confidential works council meeting at Tesla's Gigafactory Berlin was secretly recorded. The probe follows a criminal complaint filed by Tesla management last week. As per a report from rbb24, police seized a laptop belonging to an IG Metall member at Tesla Giga Berlin on Tuesday afternoon. Prosecutors in Frankfurt (Oder) confirmed that an investigation is underway into a possible unauthorized audio recording of an internal works council meeting."
"Tesla stated that Gigafactory Berlin employees alerted management after allegedly discovering that an external union representative, who was attending the event as a guest, had recorded the session. Plant manager André Thierig stated in a post on X that the representative was "caught in action," prompting the company to contact police and file a criminal complaint. The seized device is now part of the investigation, and authorities will determine whether any unlawful recording had indeed occurred."
German prosecutors are investigating an alleged unauthorized audio recording of a works council meeting at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin after Tesla filed a criminal complaint. Police seized a laptop belonging to an IG Metall member at the plant and prosecutors in Frankfurt (Oder) confirmed the probe into a possible illicit recording. Under German law, recording a non-public meeting without consent can be a criminal offense. Tesla says employees alerted management after discovering that an external union representative attending as a guest had recorded the session, prompting police involvement. IG Metall denies the allegation and calls it an election tactic ahead of upcoming works council elections.
