Employees were to be told on Monday (8 December) that hours would be cut because of the downturn in global demand.
According to a German press agency, an agreement for a short-time working was already on the table for the Sindelfingen plant, while a similar agreement was being negotiated at the engine and gearbox plant in Untertürkheim.
Daimler sales in November were down around 25%. Mercedes-Benz sales were down even more at 28%.
Around 150,000 Daimler workers at 14 production locations are already taking extended Christmas holidays, in some cases up to four weeks.
