BERLIN (Reuters) - IG Metall, the powerful German labour union, and employee representatives of the nation's major carmakers said in a statement on Thursday that Germany should vote against the introduction of European Union tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.

"We say unequivocally: tariffs are the wrong approach because they will not improve the competitiveness of the European automotive industry," they said in a joint statement.
