German neo-Nazis are trying to infiltrate Daimler, union says

Neo-Nazis are attempting to infiltrate one of Germany's biggest car makers, Daimler, to turn a key factory into a showcase for their views, the plant's works council said on Wednesday. The neo-Nazis belong to various groups and are using an alternative union, the Zentrum Automobil, as a base, said the works council, which is made up of union members and negotiates with management. "The right-wing activities and the entanglements in neo-Nazi actions and organizations and the related public coverage are causing substantial damage to labor representation and through this are threatening our jobs," said the works council at the Untertuerkheim plant in southern Germany.
