Workers at Daimler AG’s largest Mercedes-Benz factory rallied today in an effort to sway management from shifting production of the C-Class model to a plant in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Bloomberg reported.
Unions at the Sindelfingen, Germany, factory near Stuttgart plan to continue demonstrations tomorrow during all three shifts, the automaker’s worker representatives said today, the news service said. Daimler is scheduled to decide tomorrow on production plans for a new version of the mid-size C-Class, which is due in 2014, the statement said and Bloomberg reported.
“We will not let this factory slowly bleed to death,” Ergun Luemali, deputy head of the works council, said in the statement and added, “we need a viable future for Sindelfingen.” A spokesman for Daimler in Stuttgart said the company hasn’t made a decision on future C-Class production, the story said.
