Wrong. Also, wrong.
In summation, you’re wrong because your sources of information are wrong.
To get correct, it does take effort, and it’s worth it.

This is highly illegal and should be quite easy to win in court.
Looking at the financial figures of Tesla, withholding wages could be a way of maintaining liquidity. In some cases, this is the harbinger of insolvency. Let’s see what happens next.
What happens next is that Tesla will be fucked by a German court.
I read a German article a few days ago. They definitely threatened to withhold wages. They also pressured workers into disclosing their health info. Via email.
The Unions are (orders of magnitude) more active than in other comparable workplaces.
Oh and of course TESLA does not like people being in unions in the first place.
It is not only the unions, it is the law in Germany. Americans have a hard time understanding the immense power of the law protecting employees here. Withholding sick payment is about as illegal as demanding health info. Both will be easy wins in court. Tesla will find themselves in a place of legal hurt.
Tesla may not be around long enough to pay anyone anything.
Yeah, I would always pick the law over the union. I once had an employer try to fuck me over the pettiest thing. they had incorrectly, probably deliberately, terminated my contract so that I was ineligible for unemployment benefits. They don’t pay that benefit and it takes them literally 5 minutes to fix it, so it pretty much would cost them nothing to make that change. But it meant the world for me because that would’ve been the only way for me to put food on the table. I argued with them for days and the entire time they’re gaslighting me with “You don’t know what you’re talking about, we did everything right. Nothing is wrong.” Eventually I got fed up. I told them “I don’t need to deal with this shit. Give me the official reason why you can’t change the reason for me termination. I’ll forward it to the labour office and you can deal with them.” literally the next thing they said was “fine, we’ll fix it.” and 5 minutes later it was done.
I imagine a union would’ve also helped me in that scenario, but I enjoyed the safety of knowing I could stick the law in their face and tell them to eat shit. My opinion is that worker unions are great but labor laws are even better.
It is not only the unions, it is the law in Germany.
I should have made that clearer!
Let’s be serious two seconds, what is not clear is how any country law could allow a employer to prevent an employee from getting the money that is their’s.
