UAW Demands New Election After Mercedes Vote Controversy

The United Auto Workers (UAW) has requested the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to nullify the results of a recent failed unionization vote at Mercedes-Benz's Alabama plant, citing alleged unfair labor practices by the company. The UAW claims Mercedes fired pro-union workers and allowed anti-union activities during work hours, leading to a 56% vote against unionization. The NLRB is reviewing the objections and may order a new election if it finds the employer's conduct affected the vote.
