Northvolt, the Swedish battery manufacturer, is facing a severe crisis as workers report exhaustion and poor working conditions.
A new shift schedule, introduced to cope with mass layoffs, has left employees overworked and without proper rest.
Union representative Victoria Hart highlights issues such as managers bypassing labor laws, forcing overtime during holidays, and manipulating sick leave records.
Workers are also concerned about safety, especially those handling hazardous chemicals.
Despite these challenges, Northvolt has proposed a controversial bonus plan for key personnel, sparking outrage among employees.
The company claims to be addressing these issues, but workers demand respect and better communication to avoid further decline.
