Summary: Tesla’s German factory consistently has a high amount of workers out sick. The company has mailed workers that they wouldn’t be paid anymore if they’re sick, and demands that workers tell their doctors to tell Tesla about their health/diagnosis. Both of which are big no-nos under German law. (It’s worth noting that “limited sick days” are a foreign concept in germany, too).

The company already got into hot water last year, when it surfaced that the company sent people to “check” if people who had called in sick were home, unannounced. It seems like Tesla is trying to shoehorn in US-conditions at their German factory, not understanding that we got different laws.
