Authorities open labour probe at German Tesla site
German authorities are probing possible violations of labour
laws at the construction site of Tesla's future German factory, Business
Insider reported on Tuesday.
The State Office for Occupational Safety and the agency
tasked with fighting illicit work were investigating whether minimum wages are
being paid as well as whether rules on working hours and conditions for
construction workers' housing were being adhered to, the news outlet reported.
Tesla and the German authorities were not immediately for
comment.
Tesla aims to wrap up the construction of its factory near
Berlin, its first gigafactory in Europe, within months and start production at
the Gruenheide site towards the end of 2021.
Initially, Tesla had planned to start production on July 1,
2021, but red tape and plans to also build a battery cell factory on the site
have delayed the project.
