The incoming first female head of Germany’s most powerful labour union IG Metall is warning Elon Musk about efforts to avoid unionisation at his Tesla Inc factory near Berlin.

"You need to be careful. The rules of the game are different here,” said Christiane Benner, who is set to take the helm of the union on Monday at its general assembly in Frankfurt.
