Mercedes-Benz workers in Alabama voted against union representation by the UAW, with 56% against the union, as per the National Labor Relations Board. Over 90% of eligible workers voted in the election. The union and company have five days to object, else the result will be certified, delaying a new union election for a year.
The loss at Mercedes-Benz is a setback for the UAW amid a major organizing push after securing deals with Detroit automakers. Despite the result, UAW President Shawn Fain remains positive, emphasizing the importance of the workers’ efforts in the face of challenges. The Alabama plant has a significant production history and continues to play a vital role in Mercedes-Benz’s operations. Challenges against automakers continue with open unfair labor practice charges filed by the UAW.
