In Rob Maurer's September 10 podcast there's a screenshot about a meeting with Elon and the Brandenburg Minister of Economics. It says: "In a conversation with Tesla boss Elon Musk last week, he once again reminded of German co-determination and collective agreements. That was certainly not received with euphoria."
I thought a company in Germany could choose to organize under EU law rather than German law and avoid these co-determination requirements. I don't know if Tesla created a German subsidiary or if the US company itself owns and operates the plant. Does someone have insight on why Tesla is stuck with the German requirements?
I am sure that Tesla established a German subsidiary for GF Berlin around the time when they purchased the land. Didn´t find a source when I tried to google. Have no idea whether a company can choose to operate under EU instead of German law, would be new to me. @avoigt ?
