Mercedes Benz weighs German plant closures, executive says

By Reuters News

FRANKFURT, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Mercedes-Benz's MBGn.DE management is considering the closure of German manufacturing sites because it can't agree with workers' representatives on labour cost reductions, an executive board member said on Thursday.

In an interview in an internal company publication seen by Reuters, Britta Seeger, management board member and labour director, said plant closures in Germany were now on the table because an agreement with shop stewards on cost cuts was currently not foreseeable.

"Unfortunately ... we now need to look into this option in more detail," said Seeger.
