As the German automotive industry faces serious crises, Mercedes is pressuring its employees to perform additional work without pay, and Volkswagen has threatened to possibly close four of its factories.

A senior union official has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the current situation, stating, "We cannot continue like this."
