I do not see why it would need unions to fight that. It's just not legal here. It is four weeks minimum period of notice and it increases the longer an employee works for the same employer, up to seven month for twenty years of job tenure. Two weeks during the first six month of new employees.
Other agreements can be made but only if it improves the situation of the employee.

- Arnt 5y agoFour weeks is the legal minimum if you've worked at a German company for two years. Plus the notice period, which is often three months for software developers.
- _Microft 5y agoSuch things are possible if both sides agree on an annulment contract. Tesla themselves could not do that on their own. (The employee should better be aware that they still forfeit unemployment benefits if they do not announce their leaving of a job to the unemployment office in advance.)
