PerryAudi announced a $4 billion Georgia plant on Trump’s stage.
Tariffs of 15% cost Audi an estimated €1.2bn last year, and it has no US factory.
The plant would build 200,000 SUVs a year, with construction in 2027 and production in the early 2030s.
Works council head Daniela Cavallo and IG Metall’s Christiane Benner say CEO Gernot Döllner breached Audi’s election-neutrality rules.
Benner, deputy chair of Volkswagen’s supervisory board, says the Macon investment must go before that board.
