German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall is increasing production of 155 mm ammunition at its facility in Lower Saxony, a move that is generating concern among local residents, workers, and labor unions. The expansion represents a shift in the company’s operations and is expected to contribute to a decline in the automotive industry. Workers at the plant have expressed apprehension regarding potential job security, while local residents have voiced dissatisfaction with the increased activity. Labor unions have been unable to establish a unified position on the matter.
